        <connection-url>jdbc:sqlserver://xxxx.redhat.com:1433;DatabaseName=yourdatabase</connection-url>
        <driver-class>com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver</driver-class>
        <user-name>xxxx</user-name>
        <password>xxxx</password>
        <transaction-isolation>TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED</transaction-isolation>
        <new-connection-sql>SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SNAPSHOT;</new-connection-sql>
        <min-pool-size>15</min-pool-size>
