I ran into similar problem, where my eclipse has got version problem with java and it couldnt build the code so when i added the new entity entry in my hibernate.cfg.xml it did not refresh the old one and hence when hibernate is trying to look for entity it couldnt get it.

I resolved it by deleting the old hibernate.cfg.xml in my bin location of the workspace and then pasted the new hibernate.cfg.xml and bingo it worked..

The problem is coming from the following line:

s = new Student(){{setFirstName("asdf");setLastName("asdf1");}};

Briefly this line is creating a new instance of an inner class which implicitly inherits from Student class. This class is named TestClass$1 by Java's compiler and because there is no mapping for that, Hibernate is complaining about it. What you need to do is:

s = new Student();
s.setFirstName("blah");
s.setLastName("blah2");
s.setSchool((School) db.getByID(School.class, 1));

The declaration of your entity Student seems to be incorrect. If you are using annotations then properly annotate your class @javax.persistence.Entity annotaton.
