JNDI InitialContext Question.

Question

I wish to lookup the home interface of an ejb.
So I initialise an InitialContext as follows:
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"x.y.EJBServerContextFactoryClass");
prop.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"jnp://10.200.1.21:8080");
InitialContext context = new InitialContext(prop);
BeanHome bean=(BeanHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(context.lookup(“BeanClass”),BeanHome.Beanclass);
bean.create();
When I finally narrow to the bean here, when do I or don't I need to use the full
context.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/BeanClass")
Does the inclusion of Context.PROVIDER_URL eliminate the need for the pull name String here, or not? and Why?
None of the literature that I have consulted makes this matter clear.
Help, pretty please? :)
