I am completely new in Hibernate and got such an stacktrace:
hql> from TracksEntity [2014-04-26 21:13:45] org.hibernate.MappingException: Unable to load clas
Sounds quite silly but i was putting my entity Class in a package which is not the same i put in the mapping.. and hibernate of course could not find it... just for reference.. maybe a recheck can solve your problem best regards.
