Spring application should start even database is not available at startup

I have an old spring application which uses jee:jndi-lookup for datasource. This application running on Tomcat 8.

 <jee:jndi-lookup id="datasource" jndi-name="java:/comp/env/jdbc/Tomcat8Database" destroy-method="close" expected-type="javax.sql.DataSource" lookup-on-startup="false"/>

The database may be sometime down at startup of the application, but as I also tried to lazy-init spring beans it did not helped as what it seems like that JNDI lookup in spring happened on Startup always or its not in spring controls as Server provide Pooling over connections.

Any idea or code example will be helpful.

According to spring javadoc, For a lazy lookup, a proxy interface needs to be specified.

Proxy interface specify the proxy interface to use for the JNDI object. Typically used in conjunction with "lookupOnStartup"=false and/or "cache"=false. Needs to be specified because the actual JNDI object type is not known in advance in case of a lazy lookup.

Try:

<jee:jndi-lookup id="datasource" jndi-name="java:/comp/env/jdbc/Tomcat8Database" destroy-method="close" expected-type="javax.sql.DataSource" lookup-on-startup="false" proxy-interface="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
