Key kind is case sensitive -- incorrect example in the documentation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am trying to access a child entity with JDO.

Does not find the entity like this:

Key projectKey = KeyFactory.createKey(Project.class.getSimpleName(), pid);
Key groupKey = KeyFactory.createKey(projectKey, Group.class.getSimpleName(), 
gid);
Group g = pm.getObjectById(Group.class, groupKey);

The uppercase variant does work:
Key projectKey = 
KeyFactory.createKey(Project.class.getSimpleName().toUpperCase(), pid);
Key groupKey = KeyFactory.createKey(projectKey, 
Group.class.getSimpleName().toUpperCase(), gid);
Group g = pm.getObjectById(Group.class, groupKey);

According to 
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/datastore/jdo/creatinggettinganddelet
ingdata.html it should work without the .toUpperCase() either, however it does 
not.

App Engine and the JDO implementation doesn't know anything about the case of 
the kind. If your code only works with toUpperCase() then that means you stored 
data where the kind is PROJECT and GROUP. Closing for now. If you can provide 
an example (including model classes) where you persist data and are then unable 
to retrieve it I'll be happy to investigate.
