You have a Servlet that implements ServletContextListener, and also includes a contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent) method? Okay.

For what reason? If they are both implementing ServletContextListener, they should both be called. But there is no guarantee of the order in which they are called.

The fact that one of them is a Servlet is not relevant.

The doc says:

All servlets and filters have been destroyed before any ServletContextListeners are notified of context destruction.

So I guess that if the servlet and filters have already been destroyed the contextDestroyed method had been called before their destruction and by consequence the contexttDestroyed method have to be called after those of the servets and filters

The Servlet Specification is what you are looking for. The one relevant for all supported Tomcat 9 versions is Servlet 4.0 which can be found here: https://javaee.github.io/servlet-spec/downloads/servlet-4.0/servlet-4_0_FINAL.pdf

OK


> a) if I have more than one class (neither servlet) implementing ServletContextListener interface in which order the contextDestroyed method is called?

How are you registering your event listeners? If you register them in WEB-INF/web.xml then they will be invoked in the order in which they appear in web.xml. Initialization notifications will be sent in top-down order and destruction notifications will be sent in bottom-up order.

If you are using @Annotations, then I don't believe an order can be specified because there is no guaranteed order of .jar-file processing and/or .class-file processing when searching for annotations.

I have to use the @Annotations,


> b) if I have more than one  servlet class implementing ServletContextListener interface in which order the contextDestroyed method is called?

There is no Servlet.contextDestroyed method defined, so it will never be called by the container (Tomcat). If you happen to have a class which implements both interfaces, then the container will invoke the right methods at the right times, but don't think that because you have a Servlet that is also a ServletContextListener that Tomcat will call contextDestroyed on it earlier than any other ServletContextLsistenrt just because it's a Servlet.

Yes I have written

"if I have more than one  servlet class implementing ServletContextListener interface in which order the contextDestroyed method is called? "

so I have (and I want) to implement contextDestroyed


From Tomcat's perspective, it's just a ServletContextListener like any other. I would bet that you get two separate instances of that class in memory, as well: one to serve as the Servlet and another to serve as the ServletContextListener. Forcing them to be the same object might be difficult to accomplish.

I can't follow you: if I have a class like

public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet implements ServletContextListener {

there will be two objects in memory?
