Title: InitialContext Configuration


A InitialContext can be declared via xml in the `<tomee-home>/conf/tomee.xml` file or in a `WEB-INF/resources.xml` file using a declaration like the following.  All properties in the element body are optional.

    <JndiProvider id="myInitialContext" type="javax.naming.InitialContext">
    </JndiProvider>

Alternatively, a InitialContext can be declared via properties in the `<tomee-home>/conf/system.properties` file or via Java VirtualMachine `-D` properties.  The properties can also be used when embedding TomEE via the `javax.ejb.embeddable.EJBContainer` API or `InitialContext`

    myInitialContext = new://JndiProvider?type=javax.naming.InitialContext

Properties and xml can be mixed.  Properties will override the xml allowing for easy configuration change without the need for ${} style variable substitution.  Properties are not case sensitive.  If a property is specified that is not supported by the declared InitialContext a warning will be logged.  If a InitialContext is needed by the application and one is not declared, TomEE will create one dynamically using default settings.  Multiple InitialContext declarations are allowed.
