I found the solution (silly classpath issues) I had another castor.jar in the lib/ext folder of jboss. Since this is the one that got loaded up, it didn't see the files in webapps/cocoon/web-inf/lib where the TestBean was.
I deleted castor.jar (from lib/ext in jboss) and now it works. I still find this strange..but hey..it works now. :) Thanks for reading this response.
