Hibernate: Unable to load class declared in Hibernate configuration entry

Question

I am completely new in Hibernate and got such an stacktrace:

hql> from TracksEntity 
[2014-04-26 21:13:45] org.hibernate.MappingException: Unable to load clas         


        

Answer 1

i recently experienced this. I checked everything and didn't find anything that might have caused it. In desperation, i just moved the "/>" closer in the mapping and saved it. And it worked. Mysterious...

Answer 2

You can do it by two methods, 2nd one definitely works.

1. Either adding a mapping entry in hibernate.cfg.xml should make it work

<mapping class="com.sample.yourClass" />

2. In your code, After you create Configuration object, Do add class like,

Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.addClass(com.sample.yourClass);

Answer 3

Worked for me:

Changing position of mapping tag in hibernate.cfg.xml for class which was not loading previously.

I kept that at top now.

Answer 4

In my case, I have just redeployed project. Then problem solved!
