Setting it to something other then the server classloader will cause "new InitialContext()" to fail when looking up something defined by WAS's jndi.properties.
Problem conclusion
The code has been fixed to resolve the issue. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 7.0.0.13 Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
