Question

I'm trying to print all date in this MonthlyReport and got this exception.

Answer 1

To avoid such ClassCastException, you need to add Entity into your query object. Try below--

SQLQuery query =  session.createSQLQuery("SELECT * FROM MonthlySummary WHERE MentorID="+id );

query.addEntity(MonthlySummary.class);

reports = query.list();
--rest of code

Answer 2

As your stack trace suggests that the its trying to cast List of MonthlySummary but actually it cannot understand the left hand object to complete this process.

This kind of strange because if you would have not set the HTTPSession attribute on the first hand it should give you Null Pointer Exception.

Are you sure that you are not setting any attribute with that key, my assumption here is that you are setting some other object in that key.

Please use the trick mentioned by Sighr and that should do the magic for you.
