Fix to abstract catalina task class to set up redirector correctly
Using the Ant List Task with outputproperty set causes a null pointer exception
in the event of any error. For example, if tomcat is not running or the url
given is incorrect. Since the bug is in a base class, this probably affects all
the ant tasks.
The bug is due to the fact that the code to clean up the redirector is called
in the finally block, but the equivalent code to set it up is not. This problem
is also present in Tomcat 6.
The attached patch fixes the problem. With the patch in place, using the list
task when tomcat is down gives "Connection refused" instead.
