org.hibernate.MappingException: Unknown entity: com.app.persistence.Test

Question

I am running a Spring Boot Project where I want to use Hibernate and HQL queries.

I am getting following error:

Exception in Dao

My Model class is as follows:

package com.app.persistence;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name="test")
public class Test {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Column(name="test_id")
    private long testId;

    @Column(name="name")
    private String name;

    @Column(name="phone")
    private String phone;

    //getters and setters
}

And my DAO is as follows:

@Autowired 
    SessionFactory factory;

    @Override
    public String check(Test test) {
        Session session = null;
        try{
            session = factory.openSession();
            session.save(test);
            session.flush();
            return "done";
        } catch(Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Exception in Dao");
            e.printStackTrace();
            throw e;
        }

I understand that it is not able to map with the model class. But I am not able to figure out where I should add the mapping (if required).

I have already included @ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.app" }) in my configuration class.

Can someone please help me to sort it out?

Answer 1

Add @EntityScan(basePackages = { "youentitypackage" }) along with @ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.app" }). This will look for your entity classes.
