Hibernate: no persistent classes found for query class: SELECT p FROM entity.Presentation p

Question

I am trying to persist my classes but it always throws me this error.

This is my hibernate.cfg.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
  <session-factory>
    <!-- SQL dialect -->
    <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>

    <!-- Database connection settings -->
    <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/Projecten2?zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.username">MyUser</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.password">MyPass</property>
    <property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">org.hibernate.context.ThreadLocalSessionContext</property>

    <!-- Echo all executed SQL to stdout -->
    <property name="show_sql">false</property>

    <!-- Mappings -->
    <mapping class="entity.Presentation"/>
  </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

And this is the class i am trying to persist

/*

package entity;


import java.util.List;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.ManyToMany;
import javax.persistence.ManyToOne;
import javax.persistence.Temporal;
import javax.persistence.TemporalType;
import org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.parser.DateTime;
import org.hibernate.annotations.Entity;

/**

 * @author authorName
 */
@Entity
public class Presentation 
{
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Id
    private int id;
    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    private DateTime beginTime;
    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    private DateTime endTime;

    @ManyToOne
    private Location location;
    private int locationId;

    @ManyToMany
    private List<User> users;

    @ManyToMany(mappedBy = "presentations")
    private List<Planning> plannings;

}

The query i am trying to execute:

Query q = session.createQuery("SELECT p FROM " + Presentation.class.getName() + " p");
presentationModel = new PresentationTableModel((List<Object[]>)q.list());

And this is how i get the session to execute queries

Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();

I've been searching for quite a bit to fix this but i am not used to using hibernate and i followed their documentation article about mapping but it didn't seem to work.

Answer 1

As documented for example here, name of the entity defaults to the simple class name. It does not contain name of the package. In this case name of the entity is Presentation.

Method getName in java.lang.Class returns also package, so it is not useful in this case. Better ḿethod for this case is getSimpleName():

session.createQuery("SELECT p FROM " + Presentation.class.getSimpleName() + " p");

As a side note, likely there is no reason to use org.hibernate.annotations.Entity instead of javax.persistence.Entity.
