The base services provider is intended to be an abstraction of system resources that may have different implementations depending on the environment. Using this allows code to be decoupled from proprietary code and affords flexibility.

Currently, the only resource made available is the JNDI Context. Access to it is not defined by the EJB specification and is done differently by each application server. Your code will look something like this:

InitialContext ic = BaseServicesProvider.getProvider().getInitialContext();

The property value named baseservices.class must be set up to point to the appropriate implementation class for your environment, such as org.arch4j.baseservices.jboss.JBossBaseServices. See the properties documentation for information on how to set up the property file.
