Hibernate annotations - date cannot be mapped

Question

I've got a problem. I spend over one hour searching through the Internet but I did find nothing.... I have a simple Table class and one of its elements is List of java.util.Date. When I run the program, the exception is shown:

> org.hibernate.AnnotationException: Use of @OneToMany or @ManyToMany
> targeting an unmapped class:    
> com.model.Time.timetable[java.util.Date].

My config file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration SYSTEM 
"http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>
        <property name="hibernate.dialect">

        <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">
            com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
        </property>

        <!-- Assume test is the database name -->
        <property name="hibernate.connection.url">

This way of mapping (oneToMany) worked great when I used it for different type... I have no idea what's wrong. I tried few things but they didn't work. I will be grateful for your help!

Answer 1

OneToMany is used to create an association between two entities. java.util.Date is not an entity. It's a basic type. What you want is @ElementCollection.
