Just looked at one of the local 3.2.3 JBoss setup. It ships with Tomcat-4.1. The reason why the work folder does not get deleted *might* have to do with a bug in Tomcat (http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35819) which got fixed in Tomcat 5.5.10. The bug has been reported for Tomcat-5, so not sure whether this behaviour was present even in earlier versions of Tomcat.
