Description paul 2004-09-13 23:45:21 UTC 
For some time I have used the following Context Element for webapps to disable
case sensitivity in resource names.

<Context path="/iCom" docBase="../webapps/iCom" debug="0">
  <Resources
    className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext" caseSensitive="false" />
</Context>

This worked fine in early releases of Tomcat 5 (e.g. Tomcat 5.0.12) but at some
point it stopped working (by Tomcat 5.0.19 it was no longer working, and is
still not working in 5.0.28).  I've checked the documentation for 5.0.28 and so
far as I can see the above should still work fine.

I figured out that by changing the Context element
<Context path="/iCom" docBase="iCom" debug="0" caseSensitive="false" />

I managed to turn off case sensitivity again.

Sorry to bother you.
