Your qustion is not clear if you are using Spring framework there are two type of Data source handling technique

Method 1 you need to configure data source in your application server

  <bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean"> <property name="jndiName" value="java:jboss/datasources/OracleDS" /> <property name="cache" value="false"/> <property name="lookupOnStartup" value="false"/> <property name="proxyInterface" value="javax.sql.DataSource"/> </bean> 

Method 2

  <bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource"> <property name="driverClassName" value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" /> <property name="url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:OMQA" /> <property name="username" value="root" /> <property name="password" value="password" /> </bean>
