If you have access to the server configuration, you might try writing a LifecycleListener (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/api/org/apache/catalina/LifecycleListener.html), which are configured with the server (see the tomcat server config docs for your version).

Not sure if it will do the trick or not, but a good place to check.

Good luck.
