Note, that it is possible 1) to use some other class instead of Bootstrap, and delegate start/stop commands to Bootstrap.main() afterwards 2) implement a Listener and configure it in server.xml to programmatically configure Tomcat before it starts. That is, if the configuration should not be done before JVM starts.
