Hibernate version:1.0.2

Name and version of the database you are using: SQL 2005



Hi I have a ASP.NET 2005 Web application that calls an external library. Inside the web application I am trying to return a single record using the criteria object.

_LOG.Country = (TblLookupCountryList)Sess.CreateCriteria(typeof(TblLookupCountryList)).Add(Expression.Eq("Id",value)).UniqueResult();


The above returns a null value but if I use the LOAD method it comes up with
the following error:
Unknown entity class: Dating.TblLookupCountryList.

The external class/dll has the hbm.xml files embeded and this a valid connection to the database.

Please can someone tell me where I am going wrong.

Many thanks

Paul.

I assume that the null value was not exptected?

Criteria is less critical on input parameters than Session.Load. The first will just return null when the type is not found. The latter will try to find a persister for the requested type and when this fails the exception you mention is thrown. So this really looks like a mapping problem. Maybe forgotten a rebuild? (sorry for asking).
