Hibernate: creating the database tables automatically and some errors

Question

I have the entity class in MyEclipse:

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;

@Entity
public class User{
    @Id 
    private int userId;
    private String userName;

    public User(int userId, String userName){
        this.userId = userId;
        this.userName = userName;
    }

I have my configuration xml:

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

<!-- Generated by MyEclipse Hibernate Tools.                   -->
<hibernate-configuration>

<session-factory>
    <property name="dialect">
        org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect
    </property>
    <property name="connection.url">
        jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=SecondHibernate
    </property>
    <property name="connection.username">maomaoda1988</property>
    <property name="connection.password">maomaoda1988</property>
    <property name="connection.driver_class">
        com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
    </property>
    <property name="myeclipse.connection.profile">
        SecondHibernate
    </property>
    <property name="show_sql">true</property>
    <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>
    <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>
    <mapping class="entity.User" />

</session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>

and I have the main method

package hibernateTest;
import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;

import entity.*;
import hibernate.*;

public class HibernateTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Session session = HibernateSessionFactory.getSession();
        User user = new User(1, "Chris");
        Transaction t = null;

        try{
        t = session.beginTransaction();
        session.save(user);
        t.commit();
        }
        catch (HibernateException e){
            if(t != null) t.rollback();
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        finally{
        session.close();
        }
    }

}

However I got the error:

The database has no tables. I would like Hibernate to automatically create the tables based on the entity classes. How would i accomplish this? Thank you very much.

Answer 1

I got the problem. The table name "User" in the syntax "create table User (userId int not null, userName varchar(255), primary key (userId))" is a keyword in SQL. I change it to "MyUser". If you have any syntax error, you'd better try it in the SQL environment, then you will find the answer.
