org.hibernate.MappingException: Unknown entity: annotations.Users
The Hibernate configuration file must define the entity classes: <mapping class=”annotations.Users”/> 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
