And there is the problem. System.exit() will kill the JVM (unless you are running under a security manager and don't give the code permission to do this). Tomcat registers a shutdown hook on startup which performs a clean stop if the JVM is stopped. This is why you see what appears to be a 'normal' shutdown in the logs.
