3Well, I would hope that most would be running with a security manager and be configured to restrict this. If so, then the answer is No. So the correct answer is, depends on if a security manager is in use and the security policy is correctly configured/restricted.

A:
Maybe! The container should have modified the security manager (SecurityManager.checkExit()) so the call may result in an AccessControlException. No webapp should be able to shutdown the server.
