How do I lookup a JNDI Datasource from outside a web container?

I have the following environment set up:

Answer 1

What you want is an Application Client

Alternatively you could establish a plain JDBC connection from your standalone client which might be easier to create - but you'll have to configure the connection details in the client and can not reuse the settings from your application server.
