Hey, this gets weirder.
I found this:

Now, this indicates that what you can do is set up your
InitialContext, then
*throw it away*, then create a *new* InitialContext without
*any*properties, and look up your data source in
*there*.
I tried it and it works, but boy does it creep me out. :-)
Any ideas as to why I need to create a new InitialContext with no
arguments
after my initialization code to get the subsequent lookup to work?
Right, it is indeed quirky. We made some improvements here not too
long ago: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENEJB-1009
So basically in 3.1.1 you should be able to lookup "openejb:Resource/
Foo" from inside the same vm as the container, regardless of how you
constructed your InitialContext or if it is a bean or client doing the
lookup.
Till then the "new InitialContext().lookup("java:openejb/Resource/
Foo")" approach will always work in the test case.
