Hi Sud,

Generally, when running outside a container, you don't have access to
resources normally managed by the container and made available via
JNDI lookup.

For datasources, this means that you need to define the JDBC
properties and connection pooling properties directly to your jpa
provider. The documentation shows which properties you need to set in
the persistence.xml or in the properties map you pass to the EMF
Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory method.
