Andreas, As far as I know, the InitialContext (from your JDK) has a kind of failback mechanism. If no properties are used (new InitialContext() or new InitialContext(null)), a set of properties will be built using env params, applet params, system params and then jndi.properties params.
So from my point of view, you can create a jndi.properties and put it in your classpath. The jndi.properties file must contain a line java.naming.factory.initial=org.apache.openejb.client.LocalInitialContextFactory But, I think there is a problem within Tomcat cause Tomcat puts its own InitialContext Factory implementation first, so you will never be able to use your InitialContext Factory using standard mechanisms.
