Servlet cannot find local interface

Question

I have created a session bean called "UsersManagementBean" and his local interface called "UsersManagement".
After deploying the application on JBoss server i got the error "PackageName.UserManagement not bound".
my jndi tree view shows (under global jndi namespace)-
  +- UsersManagementBean (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
  |   |   +- local (proxy: $Proxy85 implements interface PackageName.UsersManagement,interface org.jboss.ejb3.JBossProxy)code related from the servlet-
  @EJB
    UsersManagement mng;
    mng=(UsersManagement)context.lookup(UsersManagement.class.getName());local interface-
@Local
public interface UsersManagement
{}session bean-
@Stateless
public class UsersManagementBean implements UsersManagement
{}what's wrong?
why can't he find the local interface?
thanks in advanced.

According to the EJB 2.0 spec:
"A local client of an entity bean may be a session bean, a
message-driven bean, or another entity bean."
This is not exclusive list, servlets and JSPs also can work with local EJB interfaces. Please note that your WEB app. and EJBs should be deployed in the same EAR.
The question is, can I use a JNDI lookup for the local
Home and EJBObject interfaces, rather than having the
overhead of using the RMI based remote implementationsYes you can. You will need to define local ref in web.xml descriptor:
<ejb-local-ref>
    <ejb-ref-name>ejb/CarmichaelSessionRef</ejb-ref-name>
    <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
    <local-home>carmichaelbeans.beans.CarmichaelSessionLocalHome</local-home>
    <local>carmichaelbeans.beans.CarmichaelSessionLocal</local>
    <ejb-link>CarmichaelSession</ejb-link>
  </ejb-local-ref>lookup you bean in java:comp/env context:
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
            CarmichaelSessionLocalHome home =  (CarmichaelSessionLocalHome) ic.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/CarmichaelSessionRef");Maris Orbidans
