org.hibernate.hql.internal.ast.QuerySyntaxException: table is not mapped [from table]

I’m trying to learn to use Hibernate using MySQL, I’ve never worked with it before and after a chain of errors I finally get stucked with this:

I’ve tried with possible solutions of another questions, but nothing, it doesn’t work. This is what I’ve done so far:

– Edit 20130301

I’ve altered with yout suggestions several things

hibernate.cfg.xml

<!-- Mapping files --> 
<mapping resource="org/hibernate/tutorial/hbm/Country.hbm.xml"/>

I renamed and moved the file Country.hbm.xml (It was country.hbm.xml) and changed this

<class name="Country" table="country">
<!-- <class name="org.hibernate.tutorial.hbm.country" table="country"> -->

The file was moved to srcorghibernatetutorialhbm

The class country.java was renamed to Country.java

And finally this line was modified in the Test.java

List result = session.createQuery( "from Country" ).list();
        for ( Country ctry : (List<Country>) result ) {
            System.out.println( "Country (" + ctry.getId_country() + ") : " + ctry.getCountry() );
        }

Now I’m getting this as an error

I appreciate your help. Thank you.

Answer

I finally solve the problem, after editing all of the things in the answer as I show there, I modified the Country.hbm.xml file to this: (Notice the commented line)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd" >
<hibernate-mapping>
    <!-- <class name="Country" table="country"> -->
    <class name="org.hibernate.tutorial.hbm.Country" table="country">
        <id name="id_country"/>
        <property name="country"/>
    </class>
</hibernate-mapping>

It has to be org.hibernate.tutorial.hbm.Country and not org.hibernate.tutorial.hbm.country
