Every servlet is HttpServlet so destroy() method resides in HttpServlet. so you need to override that destroy() in your class and before shutting down of your application server instruction pointer of VM automatically enters into the overrided destroy() method and if you write resource cleaning algorigthm ,then algorithm will be execute.but if you write infinite loop then control canot get outside of destroy method and application server cant be shutting down.
