cactus task doesn't delete old webapp if tmpdir is specified on tomcat5x

           Summary: cactus task doesn't delete old webapp if tmpdir is
                    specified on tomcat5x
           Product: Cactus
           Version: 1.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Ant Tasks
        AssignedTo: cactus-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: drabe@opentext.com


I have an ant script that runs cactus against a tomcat5x container. By default, 
the cactus was is deployed to a system temp directory. When I run this task 
more than once, I usually see lines like this, indicating that cactus is 
cleaning up the previous webapp:

[cactus] Deleting 1089 files from C:\DOCUME~1\Drabe\LOCALS~1
\Temp\cactus\tomcat5x
[cactus] Deleted 295 directories from C:\DOCUME~1\Drabe\LOCALS~1
\Temp\cactus\tomcat5x

The tomcat5x container allows you to specify your own temp directory. I specify 
mine as <tomcat5x ... tmpdir="c:\temp"/>. When I execute it this way, it 
creates c:\temp\webapps, and puts my war file in there. When I re-run the 
cactus task, it copies over a new war file, but does NOT delete the previously 
exploded webapp. Therefore, it ends up executing an old version of the webapp.

I don't see any reason why the behavior should be different if I specify my own 
tmpdir. I would expect the old webapp to be deleted when the new war file is 
copied over.
