Its not a bug, the Servlet spec requires case sensitivity, so its a
feature.
Windows NT Explorer thinks its smarter than your files and therefore
displays all files with the first letter capitalized and the rest lower
case, regardless of their actual names (this is in 2000 definitely, I
believe NT and unsure about 9x). I believe that the DOS prompt doesn't do
this. In any case, Tomcat is looking at what the file name actually is in
order to make the determination.
