I think that you have the wrong design to achieve this. I would recommend following approach: - Start tomcat at systemstart - Request the connection to the backend server at the first request to the site and store the connection with application scope. - Write a SessionListener that keeps track on the open sessions and closes the resource if the last open session is closed.
