1. Download the driver: ojdbc[VERSION].jar
2. Create subfolders [WILDFLY_HOME]/modules/system/layers/base/com/oracle/main/
3. Copy the downloaded ojdbc[VERSION].jar into the freshly created folder
4. Create a file module.xml, in the same folder as above, with the contents:

   
   <module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="com.oracle">
     <resources>
       <resource-root path="ojdbc[VERSION].jar"/>
     </resources>
     <dependencies>
       <module name="javax.api"/>
       <module name="javax.transaction.api"/>
     </dependencies>
   </module>
   
   

5. In the configuration file standalone.xml add the entry:

   
   <driver name="oracle" module="com.oracle">
    <driver-class>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver-class>
   </driver>
   
   

   within the <drivers> tag.
6. Add a datasource definition within the <datasources> tag (next to ExampleDS):

   
   <datasource jndi-name="java:/[NAME]" pool-name="OracleDS" enabled="true">
    <connection-url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@[HOST_NAME]:1521:[SID]</connection-url>
     <driver>oracle[has to match the driver name]</driver>
     <pool>
      <min-pool-size>1</min-pool-size>
      <max-pool-size>5</max-pool-size>
      <prefill>true</prefill>
     </pool>
     <security>
      <user-name>[USER]</user-name>
      <password>[PWD]</password>
     </security>
   </datasource>
   
   

Now enjoy the simplicity of Java EE :-)
