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.
