Same line of question, how do tomcat web admins present URL's?  Is there
a defacto standard for tomcat web developers that only upper, lower, or
camel notation.... From and end users perspective, having to alter case
for a web URL is a hassle, and in most cases would yield a 404 because
of disregard of said case.  Just looking for insight on how people
handle the general computer user out there.

Ugh. Well, URLs are case-sensitive by the spec, so I'm not sure why
you'd want to do this...

The 404 redirector is not what you want... I don't even know how you'd
change this. I guess you could store everything on the filesystem as
lower-case, and make all your URLs lowercase, and then intercept any
URLs, say, using a Filter, and then change the URL...

That might be even too far down the pipeline to intercept and translate
any URLs, though.

Same goes for a web server. You'd have to seriously hack the web server
to do the same thing.
