A minor note, if you ever want to extend a Properties to provide
custom behavior, you probably need to override get() and getProperty
(), put the meat into get(), and the make a getProperty() which calls
get(), as the default impl from the sun peeps is for getProperty() to
call super.get(), not get()... which always causes me problems.
Very weird. Somehow InitialContext doesn't pick up the INITIAL_CONTEXT
property if it's in defaults. All in all, it's good to see that after
so many years with Java it keeps surprising me every day.
