Question

I am using Hibernate to access MySQL database for my java application. I configured Hibernate using this instructions .Now I want to have query to my database; using this code:

java.util.List categList = null;
SessionFactory sessionFacoryt ;
sessionFacoryt = NewHibernateUtil.getSessionFactory();
org.hibernate.classic.Session hiberanateSession = sessionFacoryt.getCurrentSession();
String HQL = "select r from RssCategory r";
Transaction transaction = hiberanateSession.beginTransaction();                
org.hibernate.Query q = hiberanateSession.createQuery(HQL);

// here is the Exception cause line  
categList = q.list();

as you see because of the last line; I see this Exception:

can anyone guide me for the cause of this exception ?
thanks.

here is mapping generated for RssCategory; This class was generated to this package sakila.entity.

<hibernate-mapping>
    <class name="sakila.entity.RssCategory" table="rss_category" catalog="SAMIM-IPTV-EPG">
        <id name="catId" type="int">
            <column name="cat_id" />
            <generator class="assigned" />
        </id>
        <property name="catName" type="string">
            <column name="cat_name" length="45" not-null="true" unique="true" />
        </property>
        <set name="rssNewses" inverse="true" table="rss_to_cat">
            <key>
                <column name="cat_id" not-null="true" />
            </key>
            <many-to-many entity-name="sakila.entity.RssNews">
                <column name="rss_id" not-null="true" />
            </many-to-many>
        </set>
    </class> </hibernate-mapping>

and here is the SQL code generated for rss_category:

CREATE TABLE `rss_category` (
  `cat_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `cat_name` varchar(45) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`cat_id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `cat_name_UNIQUE` (`cat_name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

and the HQL query generated by Hibernate is:

Hibernate: select rsscategor0_.cat_id as cat1_4_, rsscategor0_.cat_name as cat2_4_ from SAMIM-IPTV-EPG.rss_category rsscategor0_

Answer 1

The problem is certainly caused by the dashes in the catalog name. Try to change the name of the catalog to something else, without dashes.
