this is what we use
first change your web.xml:

full.package.path.to.your.ServletContextListnerClass
org.jruby.rack.rails.RailsServletContextListener

And
package full.package.path.to.your;
public class ServletContextListnerClass implements ServletContextListener {
final static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ServletContextListnerClass.class);
@Override
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {
ServletContext ctx = sce.getServletContext();
MyApp app = MyApp myApp(ctx.getRealPath("/"));
ctx.setAttribute("myApp", app);
}
@Override
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce) {
logger.info("My application is being stopped...");
MyApp app = (MyApp) sce.getServletContext().getAttribute("myapp");
if (app != null) {
app.shutdown();
logger.info("My application shutdown complete, good bye!");
} else {
logger.warn("No application instance found, skipping shutdown");
}
}
}
Checkout the Java Servlet specification for more details.
I'd be interested in a more clever way to handle the application instance. :)

Meh, removed the wrong things, this should be:
The ctx.getRealPath("/") is used to know the place of the public folder. Usually you wont need this.
