Hibernate says database.table doesn't exist

The Situation
Ok, so I am learning Hibernate(from 2 days so pardon any blunder), I am using mysql database and just trying tocreate a table Employee and make an entry in database(A demonstration).
Here are the codes
POJO:
package com.sopra.pojo;
import javax.persistence.*;
#Entity
#Table(name = "EMPLOYEE")
public class Employee {
#Id
private int Id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private int salary;
public int getId() {
return Id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
Id = id;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public int getSalary() {
return salary;
}
public void setSalary(int salary) {
this.salary = salary;
}
}
hibernate.cfg.xml which is in src
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"

e.setFirstName("Salim");
e.setId(672);
e.setLastName("Shamim");
e.setSalary(266);
SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
session.persist(e);
tx.commit();
session.close();
}
}
The Error
Caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'test.employee' doesn't exist
I've tried
use this in cfg file : <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>
What is interesting is when I manually create the table in mysql using workbench, hibernate does drops it as when i use drop command it says the table doesn't exists.
I can't figure out where the glitch might be(newbie and internet didn't helped).
Please mention any additional details required in comments.
Please help!
Thanks.

I made it worked, I am not sure if it's a proper answer but since it got it working I am posting it as an answer.
I made two changes
I was using hibernate version 5.2.12 so I changed it to 4.2.0 and added jars from two more folders which earlier I hadn't (In summary I have now imported Jars from :optional, provided & required folder in hibernate user library)
I overlooked a url mistake which was
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
In the dtd url I have not added www. It should have been
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">`
So, my mistake.
Anyway, comments regarding improving this answer and why it made it work are deeply appreciated.

add different auto option of hibernate,
Use instead of create , update or create-drop
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>
or
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create-drop</property>

NullPointerException on Hibernate new Configuration();

This is my first time trying out Hibernate with Eclipse and the following are the things I did:
Created a Java Bean called Student.java which is as follows:
package com.jwt.hibernate;
public class Student {
private long id;
private String name;
private String degree;
private String roll;
private String phone;
public long getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(long id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getDegree() {
return degree;
}
public void setDegree(String degree) {
this.degree = degree;
}
public String getRoll() {
return roll;
}
public void setRoll(String roll) {
this.roll = roll;
}
public String getPhone() {
return phone;
}
public void setPhone(String phone) {
this.phone = phone;
}
}
Created a mapping file, Student.hbm.xml as follows:
<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="com.jwt.hibernate.Student" table="student">
<id column="ID" name="id" type="long" />
<property column="name" name="name" type="string" />
<property column="degree" name="degree" type="string" />
<property column="roll" name="roll" type="string" />
<property column="phone" name="phone" type="string" />
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>
3. Created the hibernate configuration file, hibernate.cfg.xml as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
 
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/hibernatetutorial</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">root</property>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="format_sql">true</property>
<property name="hbm2ddl.auto">create </property>
<mapping resource="com/jwt/hibernate/Student.hbm.xml" />
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
Created the class SimpleTest.java which is as follows:
package com.jwt.hibernate;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
public class SimpleTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Configuration cfg = new Configuration();
cfg.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml");
SessionFactory factory = cfg.buildSessionFactory();
Session session = factory.openSession();
Student student = new Student();
student.setName("Mukesh");
student.setRoll("101");
student.setPhone("8888");
student.setDegree("B.E");
Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
session.save(student);
System.out.println("Object saved successfully.....!!");
tx.commit();
session.close();
factory.close();
}
}
Now, when I try to run SimpleTest, I get the following error:
**INFO: HHH000412: Hibernate Core {4.3.7.Final}
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

at org.hibernate.cfg.Environment.<clinit>(Environment.java:221)
... 4 more**
I double checked and made sure that all the configuration and jar files were added to the classpath. So that is not the problem. I would really appreciate some insights as to what may have caused this problem and inturn, how to solve it.
Thanks in advance!

I would recommend updating to later version of SLF4J.
Or
Your Hibernate.cfg.xml is not on classpath. What folder is it in?
Edit :
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.hibernate.internal.util.ConfigHelper.getResourceAsStream(ConfigHelper.java:170)
This is actual exception in your code, If your Hibernate.cfg.xml is loaded then check for SELF4J version, Don't use user library to take your jar files, put all libraries in your lib folder and then configure those in class path.

You may find a Java Configuration of Hibernate to be more friendly. Here is an example of one that I did (Note: there are Spring annotations like #Autowired and #PostConstruct in this class so don't get confused):
public class HibernateConfigBean {
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(HibernateConfigBean.class);
#Autowired private Environment environment;
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
private Configuration configuration;
#PostConstruct
private void init(){
configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.setProperty("hibernate.dialect", environment.getProperty("hibernate.dialect"));
configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.driver_class", environment.getProperty("hibernate.connection.driver_class"));
configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.url", environment.getProperty("hibernate.connection.url"));
configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.username", environment.getProperty("db_username"));
configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.password", environment.getProperty("db_password"));
//Add additional Annotated Classes here
configuration.addAnnotatedClass(UserEntity.class);
StandardServiceRegistryBuilder builder = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(configuration.getProperties());
sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(builder.build());
}
public SessionFactory getSessionFactory(){
return sessionFactory;
}
//This should be visible outside of the package as it's only used by the GenerateDbSchema class
void generateSchema() throws Exception {
try{
new SchemaExport(configuration).create(false, true);
} catch (RuntimeException re){
throw new Exception(re);
}
}
}
Then I just put my values into a properties file :-)

Hibernate tutorial. Connection refused: connect

I want to learn how Hibernate works, so found this tutorial. But i get this error:
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.hibernate.cfg.Environment).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

I found out, that many people have the same issue with the same tutorial. For example link, or another link.
Another issue is, that it takes far to long to show the error after starting the programm(40 sek).
Here is my main class:
package mypackage;
import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
public class StoreData {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// creating configuration object
Configuration cfg = new Configuration();
cfg.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml");// populates the data of the
// configuration file
// creating seession factory object
SessionFactory factory = cfg.buildSessionFactory();
// creating session object
Session session = factory.openSession();
// creating transaction object
Transaction transaction = session.beginTransaction();
Employee e1 = new Employee();
e1.setId(115);
e1.setFirstName("Elvis");
e1.setLastName("Presley");
session.persist(e1);// persisting the object
transaction.commit();// transaction is committed
session.close();
System.out.println("successfully saved");
}catch (HibernateException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Hibernate configuration file:

<id name="id">
<generator class="assigned"></generator>
</id>
<property name="firstName"></property>
<property name="lastName"></property>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>
and Employee.java:
package mypackage;
public class Employee {
private int id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getFirstName() {

}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
}
And this are my jars and all files.
Someone knows what is the issue here?

in your Hibernate configuration file, mapping is commented, and
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create_drop</property>
is supposed to be update, not create_drop

I was facing the same error. In my case with another hibernate maven tutorial, I just forgot to run the service like this:
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="org.hsqldb.Server" -Dexec.args="-database.0 file:target/data/tutorial"

Struts + Hibernate: #SessionTarget not working

I am using struts2-fullhibernatecore-plugin-2.2.2-GA.jar to inject a session in my DAO class like below:
public class UserDAO {
#SessionTarget
Session session;
#TransactionTarget
Transaction transaction;
public List<User> getUsers() {
return session.createQuery("from user").list();
}
}
But I got
java.lang.NullPointerException

According to debugging output, session and transaction in the UserDAO are null.
Some files for reference:

If you want to use the Hibernate Session and Transaction injection capability, your action mapping package need to extend the package hibernate-default.
More details about hibernate-default package
The plugin provides a mapping package called hibernate-default. And this has three interceptor stacks indicated for injection capabilities:
basicStackHibernate: Like Struts2basickStack (NO validations!), but with Hibernate session and transaction injections capability.
defaultStackHibernate: Like Struts2 defaultStack, but without Struts2 validation methods (annotation and XML). Uses Hibernate Validation framework instead.
defaultStackHibernateStrutsValidation: Struts2 defaultStack+ plugin's basicStackHibernate.
This package extends the hibernate-default package, so all default Struts2 configurations can be used if you need.
hibernate-default package is abstract, so you can extends this with other. For example:
<package name="default" extends="hibernate-default,json-default" >
To use hibernate-default with an annotation configuration use
#ParentPackage("hibernate-default")
#InterceptorRef("basicStackHibernate")
public class YourAction extends ActionSupport {}

Maybe your mapping file is not complete but other wise it should be:
<class name="com.vaannila.uzytkownik.Uzytkownik" table="uzytkownicy">
=> need to set fully qualified class name (with package)

I think it makes sense to specify full-qualified entity class name:
<class name="com.vaannila.uzytkownik.Uzytkownik" table="uzytkownicy">

Don't forget to mention your class using as a entity classes in hibernate configeration file using the mapping tag !!
Example:
<session-factory>
//database configeration goes here
<mapping class="org.fbis.models.Form3A"/>
</session-factory>

Stijn Geukens answers right,but I want to point out more information about this question.
There are two reasons I know causing this problem: entity class not found
First, As Stijn Geukens answers, Your Hibernate mapping is not right, the value of name attribute for the tag class should be the Java class with package ahead.
Second, if you have boolean filed in your Java class, this field can't start with is.Otherwise, the hibernate throws an exception getter method is not found... when run by Java Debug mode or Run mode.But when it comes to web project and you run your project as Server Application,the message becomes entity class not found.It made me puzzled for a long time.So do not name your boolean field with is ahead.
