Hi Uttam,
Thanks for your help.
I have put the oracle-ds.xml file in the server\default\deploy
also I have tried putting both ojdbc.jar and classes12.jar in server\default\lib
I am still getting javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: jdbc not bound
here is my oracle-ds.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

See on WIKI page below how to use Oracle's thin JDBC driver to connect with enterprise RAC.

Here are a couple of the possible OCI configurations.
For more information, see
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/java.920/a96654/toc.htm
<connection-url>jdbc:oracle:oci:@youroracle-tns-name</connection-url>
or
<connection-url>jdbc:oracle:oci:@(description=(address=(host=youroraclehost)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(SERVICE_NAME=yourservicename)))</connection-url>
Clearly, its better to have TNS set up properly.
