Since the container doesn't create the threads and connections, it can't manage, and thus can not kill them automatically.
You can create a ServletContextListener for your web app. It has two methods: one that is called when you web app starts up and one when it is being stopped. These are excellent places to put this kind of startup and shutdown code for a web app.
