Question

When MBean call the following getAll method, this method return empty.

@Repository("bookRepository")
@Transactional(propagation = Propagation.MANDATORY, readOnly = true)
public class BookRepositoryImpl implements BookRepository {

@Autowired
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public List<Book> getAll() {

    return getSession().createCriteria(Book.class).list();
}

private Session getSession() {
    return sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
}

}

Book class:

@Entity
@Table(name = "book")
public class Book implements Serializable {

    /**
     * 
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 2581522135048868175L;

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Integer id;
    @Column(name = "title", unique = true, nullable = false)
    private String title;
    @Column(name = "author", nullable = false)
    private String author;
    @Column(name = "isbn_code", unique = true, nullable = false, length = 10)
    private String isbnCode;
    @Column(name = "year")
    private Integer year;
    @Column(name = "price")
    private Double price;


    // Constructors

// Getters and Setters

}

Ps: I insert records in book table and all instances injected are OK.

Answer 1

Do you have this entry in your hibernate-config.xml

<property name="packagesToScan">
            <list>
                <value>Here you need to mention package name where your book class resides</value>
            </list>
        </property>

or need to mention mapping class like below

<mapping class="package.Book"/>

Are you missing these entries?
