Case Sensitivity

I want a directory in my url to not be case sensitive.  For example:

http://localhost/abc/ABCServlet
http://localhost/ABC/ABCServlet

I want both of the above to go to the /ABC/ABCServlet.  I'm running
Apache/Tomcat.  I've tried the alias in httpd.conf but it doesn't seem to
work.

Any ideas?

You could use mod_rewrite to fix the incoming URI. Something like:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([Aa][Bb][Cc]) /ABC [R]
