Hibernate 4 byNaturalId not working properly

I am having a weird problem. I have a entity class like the following

@javax.persistence.Entity

@Table(name = "ADMIN") public class Admin extends Entity{

/**
 * 
 */
private static final long serialVersionUID = 2949030196928420876L;

@NaturalId
@Column(name = "USERNAME", nullable = false)
private String username;

public String getUsername() {
    return username;
}

public void setUsername(String username) {
    this.username = username;
}

}

and in a method I am writing a code like:

public void sampleMethod(){
//Some code
//Some code
Admin admin = (Admin) session.byNaturalId(Admin.class).using("USERNAME", "ADMIN").getReference();
}

but it gives a error:

An Exception occured during get or save of Admin.: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Entity [com.edfx.tum.persist.entity.Admin] did not define a natural id

When I have defined the NaturalId, why this says natural id not defined? Please help!!

It seems the Annotations are not working.

This is a "simple natural id" (as opposed to a composite one). Have you tried the method specific for simple natural ids? I.e.:

Admin admin = (Admin) session.bySimpleNaturalId(Admin.class)
        .getReference("ADMIN");

Should not make a difference in regards to this specific error, but is more concise.

Have you tried using a newer version of Hibernate (4.2.x)?
