what is wrong. When I build a project everything works but when I try to deploy to glassfish3 I get error.

Answer 1

Assuming your Spring application configuration is right it seems that the JNDI resource java:comp/env/jdbc/ww2b/DataSource is not correctly configured on the server.

You should configure JNDI resource on GlassFish as described in the Administrator Guide.
