For those using Spring s Java configuration classes  you might write the following    Autowired  Bean name    sessionFactory   public SessionFactory getSessionFactory DataSource dataSource        LocalSessionFactoryBuilder sessionBuilder   new LocalSessionFactoryBuilder dataSource       sessionBuilder addProperties getHibernateProperties         sessionBuilder addAnnotatedClasses Foo class       sessionBuilder addAnnotatedClasses Bar class       sessionBuilder addAnnotatedClasses Bat class       return sessionBuilder buildSessionFactory

I did not find the accepted answer helpful in resolving the exception encountered in my code   And while not technically incorrect  I was also not satisfied with others  suggestions to introduce redundancy    programmatically re-add the mapped class using configuration addAnnotatedClass      create a hbm xml file and resource mapping in hibernate test cfg xml that were redundant to the existing annotations scan the package where the  already mapped  class exists using external dependencies not mentioned in the original question   However  I found 2 possible solutions that I wanted to share  both of which independently resolved the exception I encountered in my own code   I was having the same MappingException as  ron  using a very nearly identical HibernateUtil class    public final class HibernateUtil        private static SessionFactory sessionFactory   null      private static ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry   null       private HibernateUtil           public static synchronized SessionFactory getSessionFactory             if   sessionFactory    null                 Configuration configuration   new Configuration   configure  hibernate test cfg xml                serviceRegistry   new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder                        applySettings configuration getProperties                         build                sessionFactory   configuration buildSessionFactory  serviceRegistry                      return sessionFactory           exception handling and closeSessionFactory   omitted for brevity     Within my hibernate test cfg xml configuration file  I have the required class mapping    lt mapping class  myPackage Device   gt    And my Device class is properly annotated with the javax persistence Entity annotation   package myPackage core  import javax persistence      Entity  Table  name    devices    public class Device         body omitted for brevity     Two Possible Solutions   First  I am using Hibernate 5 2  and for those using Hibernate 5 this solution using a Metadata object to build a SessionFactory should work   It also appears to be the currently recommended native bootstrap mechanism in the Hibernate Getting Started Guide    public static synchronized SessionFactory getSessionFactory         if   sessionFactory    null                 exception handling omitted for brevity          serviceRegistry   new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder                    configure  hibernate test cfg xml                    build             sessionFactory   new MetadataSources  serviceRegistry                        buildMetadata                        buildSessionFactory              return sessionFactory      Second  while Configuration is semi-deprecated in Hibernate 5   ron didn t say which version of Hibernate he was using  so this solution could also be of value to some     I found a very subtle change in the order of operations when instantiating and configuring Configuration and ServiceRegistry objects to make all the difference in my own code     Original order  Configuration created and configured prior to ServiceRegistry    public static synchronized SessionFactory getSessionFactory         if   sessionFactory    null                 exception handling omitted for brevity          Configuration configuration   new Configuration   configure  hibernate test cfg xml             serviceRegistry   new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder                    applySettings  configuration getProperties                      build             sessionFactory   configuration buildSessionFactory  serviceRegistry              return sessionFactory      New order  ServiceRegistry created and configured prior to Configuration    public static synchronized SessionFactory getSessionFactory         if   sessionFactory    null                 exception handling omitted for brevity          serviceRegistry   new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder                    configure  hibernate test cfg xml                    build             sessionFactory   new Configuration   buildSessionFactory  serviceRegistry              return sessionFactory      At the risk of TLDR  I will also point out that with respect to hibernate test cfg xml my testing suggests that the configuration getProperties   method only returns  lt property   gt  elements  and  lt mapping   gt  elements are excluded   This appears consistent with the specific use of the terms  property  and  mapping  within the API documentation for Configuration   I will concede that this behaviour may have something to do with the failure of applySettings   to yield the mapping data to the StandardServiceRegistryBuilder   However  this mapping data should already have been parsed during configuration of the Configuration object and available to it when buildSessionFactory   is called   Therefore  I suspect this may be due to implementation-specific details regarding resource precedence when a ServiceRegistry is passed to a Configuration object s buildSessionFactory   method   I know this question is several years old now  but I hope this answer saves somebody the hours of research I spent in deriving it   Cheers

If you are using 5 0x version configuration with standard service registry is deprecated   Instead you should bootstrap it with Metadata  In your HibernateUtil class  you should add  private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory         try                      StandardServiceRegistry standardRegistry   new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder                configure   hibernate cfg xml                 build             Metadata metadata   new MetadataSources  standardRegistry                getMetadataBuilder                build             return metadata getSessionFactoryBuilder   build          catch

Instead of using HibernateUtil java  to create sessionfactory object  you should use this   SessionFactory sessionFactory new AnnotationConfiguration   configure   buildSessionFactory      Because in order to avoid the exception  you ll have to declare the class object in HibernateUtil java file as configuration addAnnotatedClass Student Info class   which looks dumb because we have provided the entry already in hibernate cfg xml file   To use the AnnotationConfiguration class you ll have to add a jar to your project build path  http   www java2s com Code Jar h Downloadhibernate353jar htm

I was facing the same issue and I searched for almost 2 hours and tried with different possible ways like replacing old hibernate JARs and changing the DB table schema  But finally got the solution as below   SessionFactory factory   new Configuration   configure   buildSessionFactory      This line to be replaced with below commented line   Replace above for    Configuration config   new Configuration   configure      ServiceRegistry servReg   new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder   applySettings config getProperties    build      SessionFactory factory   config buildSessionFactory servReg     It will then work fine

The Hibernate configuration file must define the entity classes    lt mapping class  annotations Users   gt    Or you must explicitly add the class to the configuration using  configuration addClass annotations Users class     Read mappings as a application resourceName     addResource is for add hbml xml files in case of declarative approach configuration addResource  myFile hbm xml        not hibernateAnnotations cfg xml

Use EntityScanner if you can bear external dependency It will inject your all entity classes seamlessly even from multiple packages  Just add following line after configuration setup   Configuration configuration   new Configuration   configure        EntityScanner scanPackages  com fz epms db model entity   addTo configuration      And following depencency if you are using Maven  lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt com github v-ladynev lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt fluent-hibernate-core lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 0 3 1 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt    This way you don t need to declare all entities in hibernate mapping file
