Hibernate + PostgreSQL throws an Exception: Unknown entity

Question

I write a java maven project for restful webservice using jersey + hibernate and having below error :

javax.servlet.ServletException: org.hibernate.MappingException: Unknown entity: org.asad.dto.logindetail

org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.WebComponent.service(WebComponent.java:419)

org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer.service(ServletContainer.java: 381) org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer.service(ServletContainer.java:344)

The table name is "logindetail".

Database Class:

 @Entity
     @Table (name = "logidetail")  public class logindetail {

    @Id

    int userId;

    String name;

    String password;


    public void setUserId(int i){

        this.userId = i;

    }

    public int getUserId(){

        return userId;

    }

    public void setName(String name){

        this.name  = name;

    }

    public String getName(){

        return name;

    }

    public void setPassword(String pass){

        this.password = pass;

    }

    public String getPassword(){

        return password;

    }}

Main Class:

 package org.asad.login.login.loginservice; 

import java.util.ArrayList;

import javax.management.Query;

import javax.validation.Validation;

import javax.validation.Validator;

import javax.validation.ValidatorFactory;

import org.asad.dto.logindetail;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;

import org.hibernate.cfg.Configurationimport org.hibernate.classic.Session;

public class LoginService{

    SessionFactory sessionFactory = null;

    Session session = null;

    public String getDatabaseUser(){

        logindetail user = null;

        String name=null;try{

        sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

        session = sessionFactory.openSession();

        session.beginTransaction();

        user = (logindetail)session.get(logindetail.class, 2);

        name = user.getName();

        session.getTransaction().commit();

        session.close();

    }catch(Exception e){

       e.printStackTrace();

     }

    return name;

        }}

Can you check if you imported correct @Entity annotation.

As @Entity comes under two packages one is org.hibernate.annotations.Entity and other one with javax.persistence.Entity .

Use javax.persistence.Entity to annotate your entity beans. Don't import org.hibernate.annotations.Entity .
