To create a datasource and a connection pool to help you use databases in your project, edit the $TOMEE_HOME/conf/tomee.xml file.
Inside the <tomee> node, insert a child node like this one:
<Resource id="MyDataSouceDs" type="javax.sql.DataSource"> jdbcDriver = org.postgresql.Driver jdbcUrl = jdbc:postgresql://[host]:[port]/[database] jtaManaged = true maxActive = 20 maxIdle = 20 minIdle = 0 userName = user password = password </Resource>
The example targets PostgreSQL, so you will need to perform some changes for another database. Of course, you will also need to change the other parameters according to your needs.
