Resolution

Use the org.jboss.naming.NamingContextFactory for the Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY such as:

    Properties properties = new Properties();
    properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jboss.naming.NamingContextFactory");
    properties.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
    properties.setProperty("java.naming.provider.url", "jnp://myhost:1099");
    Context context = new InitialContext(properties);
    javax.transaction.UserTransaction tx = (UserTransaction) context.lookup("UserTransaction");
