It's not a "base feature" of either Java or Tomcat, it's a base feature

case-insensitive, Unix/Linux are absolutely case-sensitive. Since Java
and Java applications are supposed to run on both, they have to choose.
By default, Tomcat acts case-sensitive.
And furthermore, URLs themselves are case-sensitive (see HTTP/1.1
section 3.2.3).
Nitpicking :
Well, yes. But in this case it is the mapping of a URL to an object on
the filesystem which matters. If the filesystem is case-insensitive, it
doesn't matter whether the URL is /ABC.PDF or /abc.pdf, does it ?
Or am I forgetting something ?
