I have a named query using hibernate 3 that is giving me an error saying that my alias is not mapped.

I am using XDoclet to generate the hibernate xml. Here is the xdoclet tags.

@hibernate.class table="csr_user" discriminator-value="USER"
@hibernate.query name="findByUsername" query="from USER m where m.username = :username"

this is the relevant snippets that xdoclet generates

from User.hbm.xml

<class
name="com.bglgroup.indulge.dataobjects.User"
table="csr_user"
discriminator-value="USER"
>

<query name="findByUsername"><![CDATA[
from USER m where m.username = :username
]]></query>


from hibernate.cfg.xml
<mapping resource="com/bglgroup/indulge/dataobjects/User.hbm.xml"/>

This is the stacktrace.

ERROR http-8080-Processor24 org.hibernate.impl.SessionFactoryImpl - Error in named query: findByUsername
org.hibernate.hql.ast.QuerySyntaxException: USER is not mapped. [
from USER m where m.username = :username
]
at org.hibernate.hql.ast.util.SessionFactoryHelper.requireClassPersister

If I replace USER with the fully qualified name com.bglgroup.indulge.dataobjects.User it works just fine.

All my other classes that I've wrote the exact same way seem to work just fine.

Most likely, that's a package issue. Is User in a different package that the class you're referencing it from?

I don't know how to import mappings from different packages in xdoclet annotations, though. Sorry. If it helps, the .hbm.xml syntax you want is
