Context Lookup error

[mohamedmostafa]

i will explain my project breifly

I need to create a webservice which calls an EJB that execute a query on a sybase database

this database is a datasource on glassfish server ( i am using Netbeans 7.1.1 )

i have created Stateless session EJB which i needs it to connect to the database using JNDI

here is a part of the class

@Stateless
public class NewSessionBean implements NewSessionBeanLocal {
    @Resource(name = "ejb")
    private DataSource ejb;

    @Override
    public String execute(String query) {
        String dbName = "java:comp/env/jdbc/ejb";
        try {
            Context loContext = (Context) new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env");
            ejb = (DataSource)loContext.lookup("jdbc/ejb");
            Connection loConnection = ejb.getConnection();

and the glassfish.xml found in the configuration files of the EJB project is

<glassfish-ejb-jar>
  <enterprise-beans>
    <ejb>
      <ejb-name>NewSessionBean</ejb-name>
      <resource-ref>
        <res-ref-name>ejb</res-ref-name>
        <jndi-name>jdbc/ejb</jndi-name>
      </resource-ref>
    </ejb>
  </enterprise-beans>
</glassfish-ejb-jar>

when i run the code it always gives an error at that line

Context loContext = (Context) new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env");

i have tried many lookups like

Context loContext = (Context) new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/ejb");

HINT: my JNDI name i want to use is: jdbc/ejb

always giving me that error
