getting hbm.xml not found error while implementing hibernate-CRUD wia annotaions

Question

I am new to JPA, I was trying to setup a project in JPA using Hibernate implementation. I studied that we can either write code using annotations or using *.hbm.xml. I was trying to implement it with annotations but while I try to insert values to my db it throws an error as following.

resource: centre/Centre.hbm.xml not found

my Centre.java class is as following

  /**
     * 
     */
    package centre;

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

    /**
     * @author anoop
     *
     */

    @Entity
    @Table(name="centre")
    public class Centre {

        private int id;
        private String name;
        private String address;
        private String comments;


        /**
         * @return the id
         */
        @Id
        public int getId() {
            return id;
        }
        /**
         * @param id the id to set
         */
        public void setId(int id) {
            this.id = id;
        }
        /**
         * @return the name
         */
        public String getName() {
            return name;
        }
        /**
         * @param name the name to set
         */
        public void setName(String name) {
            this.name = name;
        }
        /**
         * @return the address
         */
        public String getAddress() {
            return address;
        }
        /**
         * @param address the address to set
         */
        public void setAddress(String address) {
            this.address = address;
        }
        /**
         * @return the comments
         */
        public String getComments() {
            return comments;
        }
        /**
         * @param comments the comments to set
         */
        public void setComments(String comments) {
            this.comments = comments;
        }

    }

please guide me what wrong I am doing in my code.

Answer 1

Removed addClass(Centre.class) from my HibernateUtil.java and it worked for me.

Answer 2

Remove the <class> entry from persistence.xml file and as reported by the log you need to specify a Mapping file descriptor for Hibernate and this can be done by adding the <mapping> to hibernate-cfg.xml so your file will look like:

<?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>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">org.postgresql.Driver</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.password">password</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1/DBNAME</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.username">username</property>
    <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect</property>
    <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>
    <property name="show_sql">true</property>
    <property name="hbm2ddl.auto">create</property>
    <mapping class="centre.Centre" /> <!-- You can also specify a whole package with <mapping package="centre" /> -->
  </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
