I have been working on packaging software into RPMs for my company.

You need to create those directories in %install and have your package
own
them in %files, and have dependant rpms depend on your package then
everything will work fine
Or for bonus points, the app itself ought to create the directories in
the first place, if they're associated with the app. Packages should
only create directories for stuff that's added as part of the package,
not part of the software per se - say, you're including a convenience
script which is not upstream, or moving the icons around, or something.

Here is the setup we have.
1) An RPM which creates a raw JBoss install
2) An RPM which sets up a specialized server config (based on the default
config from 1) with common configuration
3) RPMs containing WARs (and configuration).
The reason we encounter the CentOS 5 bug is that the when the RPM in 2
uninstalls, it removes the server config and with it the WARs from 3. Is
there a better way?
The ancient rpm on CentOS 5 doesn't know how to order erasures, no
amount of fiddling with dependencies can cure that. This also has little
to do with Fedora development...
