using JNDI MailSession in Glassfish
Today I played around a long time figuring out how to lookup a Java Mail Session out of a EJB from Glassfish. This is the link which finaly helps me through:

The problem for me was the lookup like thisone:
Context ic = new InitialContext();
Session session = (Session)ic.lookup("java:comp/env/mail/testSession");
To avoid a :
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: No object bound to name java:comp/env/mail/testSession
it is importend to add the right name mapping to the ejb-jar.xml and also to the sun-ejb-jar.xml
to the ejb-jar.xml add the following code to that EJB which makes the lookup:
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>mail/testSession</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
<res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>
And to the sun-ejb-jar.xml file add the following to the same EJB
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>mail/testSession</res-ref-name>
<jndi-name>testSession</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>
Notice that this is only necessary to perform a jndi lookup. I think you can save oneself this using dependency injection using annotations (@ressource)
