Tomcat 7bug

Bug 49978 - WebappLoader throws exception if workDir already exists (when unpackWARs=false)

I am seeing this, or similar, on Windows XP (32 bit) 7.0.6 under the same conditions (unpackWars=false)

SEVERE: LifecycleException
java.io.IOException: Failed to copy resources

Yep, there was another similar issue in the same area. Fixed in 7.0.x and will be in 7.0.7 onwards.
