Embedded tomcat and unit testing.. Tomcat either stops or my unit tests don't execute? [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi, 

I have the following in my unit test. 

    @BeforeClass
    public static void setUpClass() throws ServletException,
LifecycleException, MalformedURLException {
        tomcat = new Tomcat();
        tomcat.setBaseDir(".");
        tomcat.setPort(8084);
        Context ctx = tomcat.addWebapp("/",
System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/build/web");
        tomcat.setHostname("localhost"); 

        File contextFile = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir") +
"/build/web/META-INF/context.xml");
        ctx.setConfigFile(contextFile.toURI().toURL()); 

        tomcat.enableNaming();
        tomcat.start();
        tomcat.getServer().await();       
    } 

Without the line `tomcat.getServer().await();`, Tomcat simply stops;
with the line `tomcat.getServer().await();`, it looks as though the
thread blocks and my unit tests don't execute.. Any idea?
