The JDK is case sensitive.
Java is case sensitive.
Case sensitive web applications are portable. Case insensitive web applications are not.
Case sensitive installations are portable. Case insensitive installations are not.

Why "shouldn't" I want to configure for case insensitivity? What does it really matter whether I type
http://some.server.com/Folder/MyPage.jsp -or simply, without the finger gymnastics - http://some.server.com/folder/mypage.jsp

from tomcat release notes...
6.6 URL's are now case sensitive on all operating systems
As of Tomcat 3.2, URL's are case sensitive for all operating systems, including operating systems which have case insensitive file systems, such as Windows. This represents a change from Tomcat 3.1, where URL's were case insensitive on case insensitive OS's. This was done for a number of reasons, security and portability among them.
A "non-portable" web application, i.e. one with case mismatches, which worked on a case insensitive OS under Tomcat 3.1 will show its non-portability when run under Tomcat 3.2 and later.
