JNDI Initial Context

[Ravi Singh]

When creating an initial context for a J2EE application, you can construct the initial context in two ways:

InitialContext context = new InitialContext(); // No arguments

InitialContext context = new InitialContext(Hashtable hash); // Hashtable argument

I don't understand how you can create a connection to JNDI without specifying the properties (e.g. server URL) such is the case with the no argument constructor?

Please help, anyone.

It assumes some default values like localhost etc.

So does it connect to the local JNDI server?
