Using EclipseLink, You can set a DataSource configured in your app server.

import org.eclipse.persistence.config.PersistenceUnitProperties;
...


....
Map props = new HashMap();  
props.put(PersistenceUnitProperties.JTA_DATASOURCE, "dataSource");  
EntityManagerFactory  emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("UNIT_NAME", props);
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();

PU_NAME refers to the name used in the file persistence.xml
dataSource refers name used in the app server for the jdbc Resource as "jdbc/sample"
