The DataSourceDefinition annotation provides a way to define a DataSource and register it with JNDI. The annotation provided annotation elements for the commonly used DataSource properties. Additional standard and vendor specific properties may also be specified.

portNumber = 1527,
serverName = "localhost",
databaseName = "testDB",
user = "lance",
password = "secret",
properties = {"createDatabase=create"}) )

Added - Just noticed Tim O'Reilly's note on WhiteHouse.GOV's stack. They use MySQL, Drupal and Apache.
