I am a bit confused. I thought the @stateless annotation is to make it a JSR-181 EJB rather than a POJO. I am hoping to deploy this as a POJO. In the JBossWS User guide (chapter 4 - Developing WebService Endpoints) http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossws/user-guide/en/html/endpoints.html there is no mention about extending HTTPServlet or implementing the servlet interface (4.2.1. JSR-181 POJO Endpoint). Also no mention about @Stateless. Can you elaborate on what you have mentioned or point me to some reference where I can get more information?
