It depends on what process you are killing. If you are killing jsvc (Apache Commons Daemon), then it is OK, as it should call Tomcat' Server.stop() properly. If you are killing a java process, then Tomcat shutdowns thanks to a shutdown hook that it installs in the JVM. The downside to this approach is that all shutdown hooks are started at the same time and run in parallel. E.g. if you have some 3rd party library that installed a shutdown hook (e.g. an embedded database or a logging library), it may shut down earlier than request processing in Tomcat shuts down. It is also possible to kill java process immediately in such way that no shutdown hooks are run. In this case, of course, all bets are off.
