I don't think you can. The Hibernate API will let you configure the JDBC properties so that it can manage the connections itself, or you can give it a JNDI DataSource location so it can go and fetch it, but I don't think you can give it a DataSource.

On the off-chance that you're using Spring, it's easier - use LocalSessionFactoryBean to configure Hibernate, and inject your DataSource into that. Spring performs the necessary magic in the background.
