----------------------------------

             Summary: JNDIBean does not explicitly catch NoInitialContextException
                 Key: JBTM-3131
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-3131
             Project: JBoss Transaction Manager
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JTA
    Affects Versions: 5.9.5.Final
            Reporter: Laird Nelson


For background, see https://github.com/jbosstm/narayana/pull/1403#issuecomment-479495649 and following.

Briefly, in the CDI integration area of {{ArjunaJTA/cdi}}, {{JNDIBean}} attempts to create an {{InitialContext}}.  In application server scenarios, the relevant metadata to permit this to happen will exist, and there won't be any issues (so Wildfly etc. are fine here).  In CDI SE, it is possible that such metadata _won't_ exist, and a {{NoInitialContextException}} will be thrown.

{{NarayanaTransactionManager}} uses a similar strategy, but correctly prevents {{NoInitialContextExceptions}} from being thrown (https://github.com/jbosstm/narayana/blob/54b60a4db37ca859b9742d5f6f25cc828312ab4c/ArjunaJTA/cdi/classes/com/arjuna/ats/jta/cdi/NarayanaTransactionManager.java#L181).  A similar strategy needs to happen in {{JNDIBean}}.

I'll have a pull request to fix this shortly.
