Spring @PreDestroy: No logging because Logback stops too soon

Question

In my project, I am using Logback as logging facility. I have the following class

@Component
class Test {
    @PreDestroy
    public void destroy() {
        try

To pick up Dovmo's answer. It's all about ordering. I have the same issue on Tomcat 8.5.x. Bacially, the initializer does an addListener, you don't have any control over the listener. At shutdown, Tomcat reverse-iterates that list, picking the Logback listener first: Spring won't log anything.

A custom listener won't help because you cannot prepend it. What works for me on Tomcat is:

    ch.qos.logback.classic.servlet.LogbackServletContextListener


    org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener



    logbackDisableServletContainerInitializer
    true
