Is annotations case-sensitive?

Is @Entity equivalent to @ENTITY ?

Is @PersistenceContext(type=EXTENDED) equivalent to @PersistenceContext(TyPe=exTenDed) ?

No

In general Annotations are case-sensitive since they are

To be more clear, remember that @Entity is actually javax.persistence.Entity. So javax.persistence.Entity != javax.persistence.ENTITY

These are all Java interfaces, java classes or java class members, so everything is case-sensitive.

[Chaminda Amarasinghe]

Annotations are interfaces, so case sensitive.
