    Called by the embeddable container bootstrap process to find a suitable embeddable container implementation. An embeddable container provider may deem itself as appropriate for the embeddable application if any of the following are true :
    
    The jakarta.ejb.embeddable.provider property was included in the Map passed to createEJBContainer and the value of the property is the provider's implementation class.
    No jakarta.ejb.embeddable.provider property was specified.
    If a provider does not qualify as the provider for the embeddable application, it must return null.
    Parameters:
    
    properties - Spec-defined and/or vendor-specific properties, that were passed to jakarta.ejb.embeddable.EJBContainer#createEJBContainer(Map<?,?>) call
    
    Returns:
    
    EJBContainer instance or null
    
    Throws:
    
    EJBException - if the container could not be successfully initialized.
