well, i don't know exactly but this is one of WAS sample apps so may be app binding to db or something!

Before an application that is installed on an application server can start, all  references and resource references defined in the application must be bound to the actual artifacts (enterprise beans or resources) defined in the application server.

When defining bindings, you specify Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) names for the referenceable and referenced artifacts in an application. The jndiName values specified for artifacts must be qualified lookup names.
