Beginner in hibernate getting error : org.hibernate.MappingException: Unknown entity

[vardeep kaur]

Hi

I am getting org.hibernate.MappingException: Unknown entity error
I have class named "FirstExample". Its code is as follows:

[color=cyan]package com;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

public class FirstExample {

public static void main(String[] args) {
Session session = null;

try {
// This step will read hibernate.cfg.xml and prepare hibernate for use
SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
session = sessionFactory.openSession();
System.out.println("session is connected " + session.isConnected());
//Create new instance of Contact and set values in it by reading them from form object
System.out.println("Inserting Record");
Contact contact = new Contact();
contact.setId(2);
contact.setFirstName("Raj");
contact.setLastName("S");
contact.setEmail("[email protected]");
session.save(contact);
System.out.println("Done");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
// Actual contact insertion will happen at this step
session.flush();
session.close();

}

}
}[/color]

The Code of hibernate.cfg.xml is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://10.10.10.19:3306/test</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">independent</property>
<!-- Mapping files -->
<mapping package="com"/>
<mapping class="com.Contact"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Can you please tell me where is the problem?

Can you please tell me where is the problem?

use this <mapping resource="Contact.hbm.xml"/>

Post you mapping file also

[vardeep kaur]

Thanks for the reply

I tried with following mapping also

<!-- Mapping files -->
<mapping resource="contact.hbm.xml"/>

But again its throwing same error.

[Vivek Singh]

What is the pckg of your Pojo class..
And package of your mapping class.
Post your pojo here..

[Vivek Singh]

Post your mapping File...
And pckg of all the files...
If Cfg.xml and mapping file is same pckg then use only

  <mapping resource="contact.hbm.xml"/>

VivekSingh SinghVivek , please check your private messages.

Are you using Hibernate Annotations or do you configure POJO via hbm.xml?

[vardeep kaur]

Cfg.xml and mapping file are in the same default package.
Package of my POJO class is "com"

my mapping file "contact.hbm.xml" is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="com.Contact" table="CONTACT">
<id column="ID" name="id" type="int">
<generator class="assigned"/>
</id>
<property name="firstName">
<column name="FIRSTNAME"/>
</property>
<property name="lastName">
<column name="LASTNAME"/>
</property>
<property name="email">
<column name="EMAIL"/>
</property>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

Thanks

replace this with

<mapping resource="Contact.hbm.xml"/>     

And give a try..I have made a similar configuration and its working for me.

[vardeep kaur]

No its not working

can there be some other problem???

[Paul Sturrock]

Please use code tags vardeep. It makes it way easier to read your code.

Cfg.xml and mapping file are in the same default package.
Package of my POJO class is "com"

This sounds odd. Normally your class file and corresponding mapping file would exist in the same package, and so in the same directory.

[vardeep kaur]

Thanks a lot for your help.
My problem is solved
