Server complains about javabean being not a servlet !

[kenlohwh]

After I copy my JSP-servlet web application's war file to the JBoss deploy directory, the server starts up with the following error. The ShoppingCart that causes the error is actually a javabean used in some of the JSPs. I wonder why JBoss complains if it isn't a servlet.

The error is as follows:

org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Servlet class ShoppingCart is not a javax.servlet.Servlet; - nested throwable: (java.lang.IllegalStateException: Servl
et class ShoppingCart is not a javax.servlet.Servlet)

Can anyone kindly help ?

I tried to upload the war file, but my IE got hang each time. Therefore, I drew the structure of the war instead as follows:

servletDeployment/
|
+------ *.jsp
|
+------WEB-INF/
|
+------ classes/
|
+----- *.class
+----- ShoppingCart.class

Your help will be very much appreciated.

Oops, the space didn't get displayed giving the impression of the structure having only one root ! Here is the structure again :


servletDeployment/
|
+------ *.jsp
|
+------WEB-INF/
.........|
.........+------ classes/
....................|
....................+----- *.class
....................+----- ShoppingCart.class
