Hibernate: An AnnotationConfiguration instance is required to use ... error


I build my HibernateUtil this way :

public class HibernateUtil {

        private static final SessionFactory sessionFactory;

        static {
            try { 
                // Create the SessionFactory from standard (hibernate.cfg.xml) config file.
                sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();

            } catch (Throwable ex) {
                // Log the exception. 
                System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed." + ex);
                throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(ex);
            }
        }

        public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory() {
            return sessionFactory;
        }
}

So when I try to execute the HQL command in HQL Editor in Eclipse (with Hibernate Tools) gives the follow error: enter image description here Why this happening ? It shouln't change the AnnotationConfiguration by ConfigureAnnotation ?

Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • If you have that error, and you are using hibernate version >=4.0, the problem probably is in the Hibernate Console configuration.

    Try to go to:

    Run -> Run Configurations

    and open the configuration that you have created, On the main tab change Type from Core to Annotations. Here a screenshot: enter image description here
