You have the meaning of @Stateless backwards.

This does not mean like so:

Hey container, here's an arbitrary class, please make it a stateless bean.

This actually means like so:

Hey container, here's a stateless class, you can safely use it as a stateless bean.

You have a stateful class. You should mark it as a @Stateful bean. Otherwise, get rid of all the state (unmanaged instance variables) so you can safely use it as a @Stateless bean.
