Question

I have my application on Tomcat with a JNDI datasource. I need to access the connection string from it. Is there a way to do that in my application?

You can try the following:

DataSource ds ...
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
DatabaseMetadata dbmd = conn.getMetaData();
System.out.println(dbmd.getURL());

You can get more info of DataBaseMetadata chedk this:
