contextDestroyed- odd behaviour?

I have a very simple class that implements ServletContextListener.
When Tomcat is shut down, contextDestroyed is run, but the context variables are already null when I try to access them. Is this the appropriate behaviour? I would have thought they would not destroyed until after contextDestroyed finishes running.
I wrote a simple jsp page as well to make sure that I could access the variable before shutdown.
I am running Tomcat 5.5.7 on Windows 2000.

Here is my code:

Did you configure your implementation class in the deployment descriptor of your web application?

And the "test" JSP page is included in the same web application?

This sounds more like a JSP/Servlet issue than a Apache/Tomcat?

John,
I just tested your code in TC5.28 and it seems to be working fine.
Here is the output to catalina.out, generated when reloading the app from the html manager in Tomcat:

==> catalina.out <==
- Reloading this Context has started
test = This is a test

I've bundled the test into a war file:

Try with this war file.

If I get a chance later, I'll try in 5.5.7
