I am able to connect my Spring-Boot application (deployed in Websphere Application Server 9) to WAS datasource. The following code worked for me, for connecting to DataSource:

@Bean(name = "WASDataSource")
public DataSource WASDataSource() throws Exception {        
JndiDataSourceLookup dataSourceLookup = new JndiDataSourceLookup();
return dataSourceLookup.getDataSource("DSNAME");
}   

@Bean(name = "WASDataSourceJdbcTemplate")
public JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate_WASDS(@Qualifier("WASDataSource")
DataSource dsDB2) {
return new JdbcTemplate(dsDB2);
}

Note: The name of Datasource "DSNAME" is the name which appears on the UI of Websphere console. You can see that via -> Select Resources > JDBC > Data Sources.

Then I created jdbc template:

@Autowired
@Qualifier("WASDataSourceJdbcTemplate")
private JdbcTemplate db2WASTemplate;`

And running query using the query method works fine :
db2WASTemplate.query()

I did not create any Web.xml or ibm-web-bnd.xml files
