Unable to perform JNDI lookup using IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty - jndi

Question

I am using IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty to perform JNDI lookup.I am pretty sure about giving right about the location of resources in the project. However, when i run this I am getting a name not found error.
Here is the code performing the lookup:
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
{
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
response.setContentType("text/html");
try {
FlightService flightService = (FlightService)new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/Web1/FlightService!com.airline.FlightService");
}
catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
if(flightService !=null){
out.println(flightService.getAirplaneModel());
out.println(flightService.getFrom());
out.println(flightService.getTo());
}
}
Here is the server.xml:
<server description="new server">
<!-- Enable features -->
<featureManager>
<feature>webProfile-7.0</feature>
<feature>localConnector-1.0</feature>
</featureManager>
<!-- To access this server from a remote client add a host attribute to the following element, e.g. host="*" -->
<httpEndpoint httpPort="9090" httpsPort="9443" id="defaultHttpEndpoint"/>
<!-- Automatically expand WAR files and EAR files -->
<applicationManager autoExpand="true"/>
<applicationMonitor updateTrigger="mbean"/>
<webApplication id="Web1" location="Web1-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war" name="Web1"/>
</server>
I am not sure , If i have to set any configuration related properties. Any help would be appreciated.

Looking at the server xml. I don't see JNDI entry being defined.
Based on the code, it should be trying to access a JNDI entry from a servlet. In this case, where do you define you JNDI entry in the first place?
I think you need the following to define the JNDI entry in the server xml
