11.6.1 Setting initial root context
Each server contains its own server root context. When bootstrapping to a server, the server root is the default initial JNDI context. Most of the time, this is the desired initial context, because system artifacts such as EJB homes are bound at this point. However, other root contexts exist that might contain bindings of interest. It is possible to specify a provider URL to select other root contexts.
The default is that the name will be resolved based upon the context associated with the server bootstrap to which the client is connected.
The initial root context can be selected using the following settings:
CORBA object URL
Name space root property
