Question

When I am declaring named query via annotations Hibernate Session is not able to find it but when I put into hbm.xml it works fine.

It is a legacy system where all the hibernate entities are defined via hbm.xml and I am slowly trying to migrate it to annotations.

Is it possible to distribute hibernate metadata via both hbm.xml and annotations?

Exception is

org.hibernate.MappingException: Named query not known: queryName

Entity Class is

@Entity
@NamedQueries({

    @NamedQuery(name="queryName", queryString="from Product pro")
})

public class Product extends HibernateEntity

Getting the Session

        SessionFactory hibernateSessionFactory = (SessionFactory) hibernateSessionFactories.get(targetDB);

        if (hibernateSessionFactory != null) 
        {
            session = hibernateSessionFactory.openSession(new HibernateEntityDifferenceInterceptor());

            session.setFlushMode(FlushMode.COMMIT);
        }

With Spring support it’s definitely possible, so if you don’t use Spring, you can look at the sources inside of it and figure out how it was implemented there.
