Hi Jim,
Generally I would register a ServletContextListener with the
application-server (in your case Tomcat) to start and stop background
services. You would register it in your web.xml file:
<listener>
<listener-class>com.company.webapp.MyContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
Hope this is what you're looking for.
