Is it necessary to call close() if the InitialContext is no longer needed?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Why it is necessary to close the InitialContext after use
  • I did not close the created InitialContext in former JBoss versions, why I do need it now
  • There is no need to close the InitialContext if WebSphere, GlassFish or other servers are used

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
    • 6.0.x
    • 6.1.x
