workDir parameter in server.xml context is ignored by Tomcat

           Summary: workDir parameter in server.xml context is ignored by
                    Tomcat
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.12
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: melonie.brown@forscom.army.mil


According to
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/context.html, "workDir"
specifies the Pathname to a scratch directory to be provided by this Context for
temporary read-write use by servlets within the associated web application. If
not specified, a suitable directory underneath $CATALINA_HOME/work will be provided.

When I specify this parameter in my context (as shown below), it is ignored and
all files continue to be written to the $CATALINA_HOME/work directory.

<Context path="/myapp" docBase="myapp"  workDir="/myapp/otherwork" />
