Struts javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: name not found

Question

Hi.
I'm developing a my first struts web application an I'm getting: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: control_seguros not found
This is my META -INF/context.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/control_seguros">
<Resource auth="Container" driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver" name="jdbc/control_seguros" password="seguros" type="javax.sql.DataSource" url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost/control_seguros" username="seguros"/>
</Context>
web.xml
<resource-ref>
<description>Conexión Base de Datos</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/control_seguros</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
action code
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
// Look up our data source
DataSource ds = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbc/control_seguros");
// Allocate and use a connection from the pool
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
conn.close();
How can i solve this? I'm using Glassfish v3 prelude. One more thing: i'm not sure if it's relevant, but i create meta-inf folder and content.xml manually. I'd like to know how the application determinates that the database connection settings are in this xml.

1. To use local interfaces in Glassfish your client & bean must be in same EAR or EJB module.
2. @Sateless(name=) it's only the name of bean and in fact the bean interface is stored under different name then processPayment, it can be something like
packege.className.
3. I assume that you can't use EJB annotation is servlet.
4. If indeed you need to use lookup, you need perform following steps (only in Glassfish context).
a) if you are in same EAR as servlet use in web.xml resource ref like in following eg.
    <ejb-local-ref>
        <ejb-ref-name>Custom name, this name you will use in WAR</ejb-ref-name> <!---->
        <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
        <local-home/> <!-- Beans are homeles ->
        <local>eu.softper.aleksandra.ewidencje.book.BookLocal</local> <!-- Your's bean local interface -->
        <ejb-link>Your bean name - here</ejb-link>
    </ejb-local-ref>b)if outside EAR you need to use server specific deployment, if server allows to pass local ref outside application. Glassfish does not.
