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)

org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer.service(ServletContainer.java: 221)

hibernate.cfg.xml File:

 <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC

        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"

        "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">


<hibernate-configuration>


    <session-factory>


        <!-- Database connection settings -->

        <property name="connection.driver_class">org.postgresql.Drive</property>

        <property 
    name="connection.url">jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/logindb</property>

    <property name="connection.username">postgres</property>

        <property name="connection.password">project</property>

        <!-- JDBC connection pool (use the built-in) -->

        <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>


        <!-- SQL dialect -->

        <property

        <!-- Names the annotated entity class -->

        <mapping class="org.asad.dto.logindetail"/>

    </session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>

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;

        }}

now this error is coming java.lang.NullPointerException anyone can help me to eliminate this error i will b thankful :)

Please don't use lowercase names for class names. But that's not the problem. I do not see a package directive above your class code. But you have used a package 'org.asad.dto.' in the hibernate configuration. That might be the problem. If it is then, put the class in the resp. package. — Peter Paul Kiefer

Check the package of logindetail is the same like provided in <mapping class="..." />. — barthel

@PeterPaulKiefer ok i will take care about class names in future . The package is put in the class but still the error. — Asad

@barthel yes the package is same as the provided in the mapping class. — Asad

Tell us about the action that throws this exception and provide the full stacktrace and Hibernate version. Also switch loglevel of hibernate to debug/trace will more explain the error. — barthel

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.

@Asad I uv this answer because it might help other developers which have a similiar problem. And it shows you and me ;-) how important it is to provide a complete class file - with package and imports. Lucky you, that Arpit has so much experience to gues the answer correctly.

@Asad the logindetail entity class instead. And please check the format and layout before save the question.
