Answer 1

检查您项目中正确包中的 Employee.hbm.xml，并使用正确的包名在 bellow xml 中设置类名。

<hibernate-mapping> <class name="yourpackageName.Employee" table="EMPLOYEE"> <meta attribute="class-description"> This class contains the employee detail. </meta> <id name="id" type="int" column="id"> <generator class="sequence"/> </id> <property name="firstName" column="first_name" type="string"/> <property name="lastName" column="last_name" type="string"/> <property name="salary" column="salary" type="int"/> </class> </hibernate-mapping>

Answer 2

Apparently the Employee.hbm.xml is found but Hiberante can not read the file. Try to replace your file with this code replacing the YOUR PATH HERE (com.something.something) for your real path.

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
  "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
  "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">
  <hibernate-mapping package="YOUR PATH HERE (com.something.something)">
    <class name="Employee" table="EMPLOYEE" lazy="false">
        <id name="id" column="id" type="long">
            <generator class="native" />        
        </id>
        <property name="firstName" column="first_name" type="string"/>
        <property name="lastName" column="last_name" type="string"/>
        <property name="salary" column="salary" type="long"/>
    </class>        
  </hibernate-mapping>

Answer 3

Edit class name="your.packageName.Employee" in your Employee.hbm.xml :

<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="your.packageName.Employee" table="EMPLOYEE">
      <meta attribute="class-description">
         This class contains the employee detail. 
      </meta>
      <id name="id" type="int" column="id">
         <generator class="sequence"/>
      </id>
      <property name="firstName" column="first_name" type="string"/>
      <property name="lastName" column="last_name" type="string"/>
      <property name="salary" column="salary" type="int"/>
   </class>
</hibernate-mapping>
