Also below is the code at FactoryUtil class and BO class

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;

public class FactoryUtil {
    //Static Session Factory
        private static org.hibernate.SessionFactory sessionFactory;

        private FactoryUtil() {}

        static {

            //Creates the SessionFactory based on the XML Configuration
            try{
            Configuration configs = new Configuration();
            sessionFactory = configs.configure("/com/vaannila/config/adminuser.hbm.xml").buildSessionFactory();
            }catch(Exception e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

        public static SessionFactory getInstance() {
            return sessionFactory;
        }

        public Session openSession() {
            return sessionFactory.openSession();
        }

        public Session getCurrentSession() {
            return sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
        }

        public static void close() {
            if (sessionFactory != null)
                sessionFactory.close();
            sessionFactory = null;
        }

        public static FactoryUtil getSessionFactory() {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return null;
        }

}

import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;

import com.vaannila.domain.AdminUserVO;
import com.vaannila.utility.FactoryUtil;

public class AdminUserBO {



    public void addUser(AdminUserVO auserVO) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        Session session = FactoryUtil.getInstance().openSession();
        Transaction transaction = null;
        Long singerId = null;

        try {
            transaction = session.beginTransaction();
            AdminUserVO userVO = new AdminUserVO();
            singerId = (Long)session.save(userVO);
            transaction.commit();
        }
        catch (HibernateException e) {
            transaction.rollback();
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        finally {
            session.close();
        }


    }

}

Below is the mapping file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="com.vaannila.domain.AdminUserVO" table="users">
<id name="userId" type="int" column="userId" >
<generator class="increment"/>
</id>
<property name="userName">
<column name="userNm" />
</property>
<property name="password">
<column name="password" />
</property>
<property name="emailAddress">
<column name="emailId" />
</property>

</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

Please can anyone suggest me to resolve above issue

Edit

public class AdminUserVO implements java.io.Serializable{
    private String userName;
    private String userId;
    private String password;
    private String emailAddress;

    public String getUserName() {
        return userName;
    }
    public void setUserName(String userName) {
        this.userName = userName;
    }
    public String getUserId() {
        return userId;
    }
    public void setUserId(String userId) {
        this.userId = userId;
    }
    public String getPassword() {
        return password;
    }
    public void setPassword(String password) {
        this.password = password;
    }
    public String getEmailAddress() {
        return emailAddress;
    }
    public void setEmailAddress(String emailAddress) {
        this.emailAddress = emailAddress;
    }

}


User Name  damodar
User Id  damuammu
Password  1123
Email Address  [e-mail]

Above is the data iam entering same is been printed in the stacttrace also.

The Hibernate configure method

public Configuration configure(String resource)
                        throws HibernateException

should take a path to your hibernate.cfg.xml file, NOT to a mapping file. See http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/3.5/api/org/hibernate/cfg/Configuration.html#configure%28java.lang.String%29.
