I'm running Tomcat 6.0.32 on Windows Server 2008 R2.

I am running into a problem when managing our webapp via the Tomcat Manager 
App.  Specifically, if I add any files to our WEB-INF/extension directory in 
the exploded WAR directory after the initial deployment, an undeploy fails to 
completely remove our exploded webapp directory.  It removes everything that 
was in the WAR, but leaves the manually added files.  In addition, if we 
attempt to deploy a new WAR when this skeleton directory is left, the deploy 
says it's successful, but doesn't explode the new WAR.

If anyone has any suggestions on how we can add files into the exploded webapp 
structure and still perform undeploy/re-deploy of our webapp, I would greatly 
appreciate it.  Or, if there's a way to tell tomcat to completely remove the 
directory - regardless of additional files/directories, that would probably 
work, too.

The only other options I can think of would be installing these dynamic 
extensions outside the webapp, but that's not ideal since some of these 
extensions will be HTML/CSS content and we'd like to keep it all under the 
webapp root.

Thanks,
