As I understand it, both constructors are useful. For instance, in EJB code,
i.e. entity and session beans, should use the empty contructor, as this allows
the InitialContext parameters to be established by the container, and makes for
more portable code.
For servlets, where InitialContexts are established per request, and often
with different credentials, it is quite necessary to use the constructor that
accepts a Properties argument.
