Retrieving all rows of a table without HQL?

Question

I am using Hibernate 4 and would like to simply list all rows of a table. All solutions I found suggest using something like \"from tablename\", but I would like to avoid hardco

//Hibernate Class

public class CommonDAO {

 Session session = null;
 Transaction transaction = null;
 private Class clazz;

 public CommonDAO(){ //constructor
    session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();
    transaction = session.beginTransaction();
    Type genericSuperclass = this.getClass().getGenericSuperclass();
    if (genericSuperclass instanceof ParameterizedType) {
      ParameterizedType pt = (ParameterizedType) genericSuperclass;
      Type type = pt.getActualTypeArguments()[0];
      clazz = (Class) type;
    }
 }

 public T listById(Object id) {
  T object = null;
  try {
   object = (T) session.get(clazz, (Serializable) id);
  } catch (Exception e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  }
  return object;
 }
}

//User Class

public class UserDAO extends CommonDAO { // Here UserMaster is pojo

 public UserDAO() {
  super();
 }

 public static void main(String ar[]) {
  UserMaster user = new UserDAO().listById(1); // 1 is id
  System.out.println(user.getUserName());
 }
}
