If ServletContextListener.contextInitialized(), the web application will not start. Servlets are not initialised until first used so they can't prevent an application from starting. The one exception is Servlets configured for "load on startup". Any failure of these servlets will cause the application to fail to start. > I found out that if servlet calls System.exit(1), then Tomcat dies.

The Context you can set in conf/context.xml so it applies to all web applications.
