org.hibernate.MappingException: Unknown entity

I'm trying to work through Beginning Hibernate 2nd edition, and I'm stuck trying to put together the simple working example with HSQLDB.

When I run ant populateMessages, I get

[java] org.hibernate.MappingException: Unknown entity: sample.entity.Message
[java]     at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ExecuteJava.execute(ExecuteJava.java:194)
[java]     at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Java.run(Java.java:747)
...

Here's what I've got:

Message.java

package sample.entity;

import org.hibernate.annotations.Entity;

import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
public class Message
{
    private String messageText;
    private Integer id;

    public Message( String messageText )
    {
        this.messageText = messageText;
    }

    public Message()
    {
    }

    public String getMessageText()
    {
        return messageText;
    }

    public void setMessageText(String messageText)
    {
        this.messageText = messageText;
    }

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    public Integer getId()
    {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Integer id)
    {
        this.id = id;
    }
}

PopulateMessages.java

package sample;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import sample.entity.Message;

import java.util.Date;

public class PopulateMessages
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        SessionFactory factory = new AnnotationConfiguration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
        Session session = factory.openSession();
        session.beginTransaction();

        Message m1 = new Message("Hibernated a  messages on " + new Date());
        session.save(m1);
        session.getTransaction().commit();
        session.close();
    }
}

You entity is not correctly annotated, you must use the @javax.persistence.Entity annotation. You can use the Hibernate extension @org.hibernate.annotations.Entity to go beyond what JPA has to offer but the Hibernate annotation is not a replacement, it's a complement.

So change your code into:

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
public class Message { 
    ...  
}

• Hibernate Annotations Reference Guide
  • 2.4. Hibernate Annotation Extensions

---

You should call .addAnnotatedClass(Message.class) on your AnnotationConfiguration.

If you want your entities to be auto-discovered, use EntityManager (JPA)

(Reference)

Update: it appears you have listed the class in hibernate.cfg.xml. So auto-discovery is not necessary. Btw, try javax.persistence.Entity

---

In case if you get this exception in SpringBoot application even though the entities are annotated with Entity annotation, it might be due to the spring not aware of where to scan for entities

To explicitly specify the package, add below

@SpringBootApplication
@EntityScan({"model.package.name"})
public class SpringBootApp {...}

note: If you model classes resides in the same or sub packages of SpringBootApplication annotated class, no need to explicitly declare the EntityScan, by default it will scan

---

Use below line of code in the case of Spring Boot Application Add in Spring Boot Main Class @EntityScan(basePackageClasses=YourClassName.class)

---

use below line of code in the case of spring boot applications.

@EntityScan(basePackageClasses=YourClassName.class)

---

you should add all the entity files in the .addAnnotatedClass(Class) method, if the class needs to be auto discovered.

use this link, it might help..

http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/core/api/org/hibernate/cfg/AnnotationConfiguration.html

I encountered the same problem when I switched to AnnotationSessionFactoryBean. I was using entity.hbm.xml before.

I found that My class was missing following annotation which resolved the issue in my case:

@Entity
@Table(name = "MyTestEntity")
@XmlRootElement

---

Use import javax.persistence.Entity; Instead of import org.hibernate.annotations.Entity;

---

My issue was resolved After adding
sessionFactory.setPackagesToScan( new String[] { "com.springhibernate.model" }); Tested this Functionality in spring boot latest version 2.1.2.

Full Method:

 @Bean( name="sessionFactoryConfig")
    public LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactoryConfig() {

        LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory = new LocalSessionFactoryBean();

        sessionFactory.setDataSource(dataSourceConfig());
        sessionFactory.setPackagesToScan(
                new String[] { "com.springhibernate.model" });

        sessionFactory.setHibernateProperties(hibernatePropertiesConfig());

        return sessionFactory;
    }

---

You can enable entity scan by adding below annotation on Application .java @EntityScan(basePackageClasses=YourEntityClassName.class)

Or you can set the packageToScan in your session factory. sessionFactory.setPackagesToScan(“com.all.entity”);

---

check that entity is defined in hibernate.cfg.xml or not.

---

In hibernate.cfg.xml , please put following code

<mapping class="class/bo name"/>
