This how applications are deployed in any application server. Nothing
new.

Take for example, Google, which seems to operate a case-sensitive URL
policy on their own URLs. For example, the second link below is a 404:

http://google.com/doodles
http://google.com/Doodles

Not sure what you mean about "....have to remember...". It has always
been the case.

RFC 3986 defines URIs as case-sensitive except for the scheme and host
components.

Having said that, one could always manipulate the HTTP configuration to
map URLs any way you want. So you could define you web services as lower
case, then create a mapping such that any requests that come in is lower
cased before forwarding on to be processed.

Not related to Booth's question but re: "URL context root is case
sensitive. "

Why did IBM choose to do this ? To have to remember that one
service in many that may be deployed is case-sensitive is (to put it
mildly) annoying.
