You may implement a o.a.c.LifecycleListener see http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html Also, the Servlet spec provides the ServletContextListener interface. Also, Java has support for JVM shutdown hooks. Also, if you start your own thread you may want to call Thread.setDaemon(true), because non-demon (default) threads prevent JVM from shutdown.
