Mail Session Connection

Question

When I run the following code sample from a book, I get the error
the following error ocurred: mail/TheMailSession not found in Mail-Mail-webapp
The code follows:
public void sendNotice(String recipient)
    try{
    Context initial = new InitialContext();
    Session session = (Session) initial.lookup("java:comp/env/mail/TheMailSession");
    Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
    msg.setFrom();
    msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(recipient, false));
    msg.setSubject("Test Message from ConfirmerBean");
    DateFormat dateFormatter = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG, DateFormat.SHORT);
    Date timeStamp = new Date();
    String messageText = "Thank you for your order. " + '\n' + "We received your order on " + dateFormatter.format(timeStamp) + ".";
    msg.setText(messageText);
    msg.setHeader("Mailer", "Mailer");
    msg.setSentDate(timeStamp);
    Transport.send(msg);
    }catch(Exception mex)
      System.out.println("the following error ocurred: " + mex.getMessage() );
    }I am not quite sure I know that it is complaining about the missing resource mail/TheMailSession, but what kind of resource is it looking for?
Thanks...

Thank you very much...
I didn't know that Transport.send creates its own connection! Thanks a lot!
