You can specify JDBC Driver URL and/or JNDI name. The JNDI service can be used when BIRT is deployed to an application server. It can also be used in BIRT Report Designer for data preview, if your JNDI service provider supports client-side access. You may use a jndi.properties resource file to configure the JNDI initial context environment. See description in Bugzilla 131662 for more details. If your report design contains a JDBC data source defined with both JDBC Driver URL and JNDI name, then JNDI service will be used first and JDBC driver will be used as fallback. The username and password properties, if specified, are used in both cases. When you need to ensure that JNDI service is really used, increase logging level of BIRT engine; in case of JDBC fallback you will see JNDI lookup errors in the logs.
