Hiibernate : java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Integer

I am trying to write a simple code for hibernate. I am using SQL Server 2012 as a database. I am encountering the following error while running the application:

This is my Employee entity class

 package com.samples.hibernate;

public class Employee {

    private int ID;
    private String name;

    public int getID() {
        return ID;
    }
    public void setID(int iD) {
        ID = iD;
    }
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

}

Here is my code where I am communicating with the database.

public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Configuration configuration = new Configuration().configure();
    StandardServiceRegistryBuilder builder = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties());
    SessionFactory factory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(builder.build());
    Session session = null;
    try
    {
        session = factory.openSession();
        Employee employee = new Employee();
        employee.setID(3);
        employee.setName("Venkatesh");

        session.beginTransaction();
        session.save(employee);
        session.getTransaction().commit();


    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    finally
    {
        session.close();
    }
}

Class Employee has ID as integer and name as String. Please help me with this. I am new to hibernate and trying to learn. Thank You in advance.
