Hibernate - Mapping: Could not determine type for #, at table: #, for columns: #

Question

I tried everything, but I'm stuck. Can you help me please?

The small project is just a preliminary test for a large database. I've only been using Hibernate for a week and I'm trying to connect it all with Srping MVC Tomcat later.

But now I just want to be able to recognize the mistakes in the mapping.

Console:

    `Initial SessionFactory creation failed.org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not determine type for: hiber.data_examplecompany.Address, at table: EMPLOYEE, for columns: [org.hibernate.mapping.Column(address)]

Thank you for the time invested! :)

Actually, your mapping is ok. Each Employee could have one Address. But you did small mistake i think. As my knowledge Whenever creating tables in hibernate using annotation use all annotation at one place i mean Field or property level. Basically, Hibernate will look to other required annotation based on @Id annotation position. So in your case @Id is in field level and @OneToOne is on property level in Employee table. Please do the same changes and try again, let me know.

@Entity
@Table(name = "EMPLOYEE")
@Access(value=AccessType.FIELD)
public class Employee {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "emp_id")
    private long id;
    @Column(name = "emp_name")
    private String name;
    @Column(name = "emp_salary")
    private double salary;

     @OneToOne(mappedBy = "employee" , cascade = CascadeType.ALL)   
    private Address address;

    public long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }


    public Address getAddress() {
        return address;
    }

    public void setAddress(Address address) {
        this.address = address;
    }


    public String getName() {
        System.out.println("Employee getName called");
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        System.out.println("Employee setName called");
        this.name = name;
    }


    public double getSalary() {
        return salary;
    }

    public void setSalary(double salary) {
        this.salary = salary;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Id= " + id + ", Name= " + name + ", Salary= " + salary
                + ", {Address= " + address + "}";
    }
