I'm trying to get EJB to work with Glassfish v3. I'm working on a Java EE Web application with Servlets.
When I deploy this web app to Glassfish, it registers the EJB class into the
java:global JNDI tree. But, when I try to inject an instance of this into my
Servlet I got a NameNotFoundException.
When I look at the logs of my server, the Servlet tries to do the look up in java:comp/env.
Can someone help me to solve this?
Relevant code for the login part:

My guess is that you specified names, mapped names and what have you. This is not needed.
Something like the following should work:
EJB:
@Stateless
public class MyBean {
// ...
}
Servlet:
@WebServlet(urlPatterns="/someurl")
public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
@EJB
private MyBean myBean;
@Override
public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
// ...
}
}
UPDATE:
After seeing your code, the problem is not the injection of the EJB into the Servlet, but the injection of JpaUserDao in Authenticator.
You are injecting it by class, but this will not work since JpaUserDao implements a business interface: UserDao. Because it implements such an interface, there will be no local-view created. As a result, you have to inject using the interface:
@Stateless
public class Authenticator {
private String userFullName;
private Long userId;
@EJB
private UserDao userDao;
// ...
}
As an extra note, the concept of your Authenticator bean is not going to work. It's a stateless bean and its instance variables will have no meaning to the outside world. Thus, getUserFullName() is not guaranteed to return the result you think it will return. It may happen to work momentarily for you in a test when the container happens to select the same bean instance, but this will not work in general.
Even when you hold on to the reference of an Authenticator, it will still not work. The thing is you get a proxy, and the container will potentially direct every call to it to another instance. Think of it as a URL to servers in a web farm where a browser does a call to. You have no guarantee that two successive will go to the exact same physical server.
The authentication that you're trying to do there should be handled by a bean in the web layer and the authentication details put in the HTTP session (additionally, you should maybe use container authentication as well, but that's a whole other thing that's too off-topic here)
