Converting from JDBC to JDNI connection

Question

I am currently using CR XI (sp3)  JRC in my application to display reports via web pages. I am using Oracle with a JDBC connection. I need to change my JDBC connection to a JNDI connection.  Here are my current connection settings;
connection_url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@ros-db03:1521:spndgwin
connectionString=!jdbc:oracle:thin:@ros-db03:1521:spndgwin!jdbc:oracle:thin:/@ros-db03:$:spndgwin
database_classname=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Jitin, I have a web application running on Apache TomCat 6.0  that uses a JDNI connection for database connectivity everywhere except when I run a report via the viewer page which uses a JDBC connection. I would like to change my reports to use the same JDNI connection. I tried to test this in the CR XI designer by using these settings in the CrConfig.xml but I get theerror  "can't instantiate class".
Here's the working JDBC settings;
     <JDBCURL>jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.0.1.111:1521:myAppDb</JDBCURL>
     <JDBCClassName>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</JDBCClassName>
     <JDBCUserName>AppUser</JDBCUserName>
Here's the non-working JNDI settings;
<JNDIURL>//localhost:8080</JNDIURL>
<JNDIConnectionFactory>org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean</JNDIConnectionFactory>
<JNDIInitContext>AppDatabase-ds</JNDIInitContext>
<JNDIUserName>AppUser</JNDIUserName>
We are using spring so I used it's factory name. I have the server running locally on my development PC which is why I used localhost as the URL value.
Here's my application-context-web.xml contents:
  Bean definitions for Data base  -->          
<bean id="AppDatabaseDS" lazy-init="true" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName"><value>java:comp/env/AppDatabase-ds</value></property>
</bean>
and last of all my server.xml contents;
<GlobalNamingResources>
         <Resource name="AppDatabase-ds"
          auth="Container"
          type="javax.sql.DataSource"
          driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
          url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.0.1.111:1521:myAppDb"
          username="AppUser"
          password="userpw"
</GlobalNamingResources>
