'Hibernate Mapping Error: MappingException: An AnnotationConfiguration instance

I have a project with Hibernate.I tried to read the configuration file hibernate.cfg and got this error:

 Error creando una factoria de session.org.hibernate.MappingException: An AnnotationConfiguration instance is required to use <mapping class="com/david/Categoria"/>
jun 04, 2013 10:19:26 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke

    at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.configure(Configuration.java:1338)
    at com.david.HibernateHelper.buildSessionFactory(HibernateHelper.java:13)

my configuration file is so simple:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>
        <property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
        <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/arquitecturajava</property>
        <property name="connection.username">root</property>
        <property name="connection.password">root</property>
        <property name="connection.pool_size">5</property>
        <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect</property>
        <property name="show_sql">true</property>
        <mapping class="com/david/Categoria"></mapping>
        <mapping class="com/david/Libro"></mapping>
    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

don´t accept mapping class lines.

I create de configurations similar to this code:

private static SessionFactory buildSessionFactory() 
    {
        try
        {

            return new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory(); 
        }
        catch (Throwable ex) 
        {
            System.err.println("Error creando una factoria de session." + ex);
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
        }
    }

and my project libraries are:

Any idea?

javaeclipsehibernateannotationsmapping


Solution 1:[1]

I think you need the Hibernate Annotation library in your classpath. You can add it manually, downloading it from Hibernate site, or you can add this Maven dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>hibernate-annotations</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
    <version>3.3.0.GA</version>
</dependency>

And then use the class AnnotationConfiguration instead of Configuration to configure your sessionFactory.

return new AnnotationConfiguration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

Then you have to correct the qualified name of the class, as @JB Nizet suggested you in his comment.

I think this will solve your problem.

EDIT: sorry, I think you have the annotations library in your classpath, just use the AnnotationConfiguration class instead of Configuration when you build your sessionFactory.

The problem was of libraries. This is the solutions:

A lot of thank´s to Eternay and JB Nizet.
