HI,

I get the following error:

hibernate Could not compile the mapping document java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

net.sf.hibernate.MappingException: persistent class not found:

Hibernate version: version 2.0.3, 27 August 2003
Name and version of database: mysql:

Thanks for the help!

books.hbm.xml

Well as far as I can deduce from your post, you are refering to a class called com.model.Books in your mappings which is not on your classpath. Check your classpath ...
