I'm finding it hard to figure out where I am going wrong? I'm using hibernate.4.2.3.jar and I've included all the jars this contains.

Answer 1

Replace the below property in configuration file:

<property name="current_session_context_class">org.hibernate.context.internal.ThreadLocalSessionContext</property>

I just now checked the hibernate-core-4.2.2.Final.jar, ThreadLocalSessionContext in not in there in the package org.hibernate.context rather it is in org.hibernate.context.internal.

Thats where hibernate is not able to load the class(ClassNotFoundException).

Answer 2

In listEmployees() method you needs to change EMPLOYEE to Employee:

employeeList = session.createQuery("from Employee").list();

This worked for me.
