How to fix a javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup failed

I'm trying to persist an entity via a simple jsp form but it doesn't work. the exception that appear is : javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup failed for 'java:global/jee-projet-web'. I'm using glasfish as server.

This is the code of my form:

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Add admin</title>
</head>
<body>
    <p id="info">
        ${info}
    </p>
    <form action="/jee-projet-web/AddAdmin" method="post">
    <fieldset>
        <label>Nom:</label>
        <input type="text" name="lastName" value="Entrez votre nom">
        <label>Prenom</label>
        <input type="text" name="name" value="Entrez votre prnom">
    </fieldset>
        <button type="submit">Ajouter</button>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

my servlet AddAdmin:

Thank you for your coming help.

In AddAdmin servlet you have declared

private AdminManager adminManager;

as instance variable. And in init() method you are declaring local variable again with same name that's creating problem

Change

AdminManager adminManager = (AdminManager)context.lookup("java:global/jee-projet-web");

adminManager = (AdminManager)context.lookup("java:global/jee-projet-web");

Now, this line assigns the value to adminManager

Root cause is

java.lang.NullPointerException
at servlet.add.AddAdmin.doPost(AddAdmin.java:55)

I guess line number 55 is

adminManager.addAdmin(a);   //variable adminManager is not initialized

adminManager is null so, calling any method on null throws NPE

Update

Root exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: jee-projet-web not found

This exception is thrown when a component of the name cannot be resolved because it is not bound.

Please ensure that the name jee-projet-web is already bound.

I guess it is typo mistake missing c in jee-projet-web. It should be jee-project-web.

One of possibilities could be that you missed to register Yours bean in ejb-jar.xml or in glassfish-ejb.xml (names of *.xml files may vary)
