Howdy, For JNDI resources, such as your mail session, first bound stays bound. In fact I'm surprised you don't get an error in the logs when you try to define another JNDI resource with the same name.
For most other properties, including reloadable, last set stays set. So the context-specific one overrides DefaultContext. Your setup is confusing and superfluous. Only specify a property in one place. Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics >-----Original Message----- >From: Dhruva B.
