Configure JNDI

step1:Install JDBC Driver
    copy the jdbc driver jar file used by JNDI Data Source service into the <Tomcat_Home>/common/lib folder.

step2: Declare Resource Requirements
    In the webapps/xxxxx/WEB-INF/web.xml file, add the following entry to setup JNDI service:

    <resource-ref>

        <description>Resource reference to a factory for java.sql.Connection</description>
        <res-ref-name>jdbc/JNDI_NAME</res-ref-name>
        <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
        <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
    </resource-ref>

step3: Configure Tomcat's Resource Factory
    In the webapps/xxxx/META-INF/context.xml file, add a resource entry to setup JNDI data source factory:. (configuring this in <Tomcat_Home>/conf/context.xml would apply to all web applications)

    <resoucelink>

step4: add to server.xml file in $CATALINA_HOME/conf

 <Resource  auth="Container" name="jdbc/JNDI_NAME" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
    password="password"
    driverClassName="com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"
    maxIdle="2"
    maxWait="5000"
    validationQuery="select 1"
    username="sa"
    url="jdbc:sqlserver://server;databaseName=property"
    maxActive="4"/>

step5:  In report data source, specifie the JNDI URL as java:comp/env/jdbc/JNDI_NAME
