return (javax.sql.DataSource)initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/sampDB");
i have specified the resource ref in web.xml as
<resource-ref id="ResourceRef_1268644568185">
<description></description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/sampDB</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>CONTAINER</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
and binding as
<resRefBindings xmi:id="ResourceRefBinding_1268644568185" jndiName="jdbc/sampDB">
<bindingResourceRef href="WEB-INF/web.xml#ResourceRef_1268644568185"/>

i created the datasource in console with jndi name jdbc/sampDB, when i tested there it is connecting successfully.
i kept all the jar files also properly.

Moved to our Websphere forum.
The issue is related to configuring JNDI resources in Websphere, and consuming these resources in your code.
