title: I want my spring boot application to make a Connection to a JNDI DataSource (server :wildfly)
body: <p>I have created an spring boot application which is reading database and server configuration from application.properties file,
  but when I deploy on wildfly I want application should read database configuration from wildfly's standalone.xml file but still it reads from Application.properties file.</p>
