Answer 1

Register Database Connection parameters:
To include your application specific connection parameters of your database, edit the file data-sources.xml under \config directory. Add the following lines to create a data source. Change the hostname, port, username/password, database name, driver type to suit your application. Make changes for url after @ symbol. Save the file. This will register the data-source which can be used across your application.

<data-source 
  class="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource" 
  name="ifso817DS" 
  location="jdbc/Loneifso817DS" 
  xa-location="jdbc/xa/ifso817XADS" 
  ejb-location="jdbc/Pooledifso817DS" 
  url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@insn104a.idc.oracle.com:1521:ifso817" 
  connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" 
  username="travel" 
  password="travel" 
  inactivity-timeout="30" 
/>
