Thanks for pointing this out as well: a WAR file is always exploded...
the only question is where it will actually end up going.

It looks like you can't avoid the work directory at all, since...

...these types of things may or may not exist in your WAR file, so use
of the work directory is unpredictable. Tomcat then always creates that
directory just in case?
