I inserted data into a table by mapping collections to database.
However when i try to retrieve a row from that table it says that the table is not mapped.

I am using a list to insert Car Objects into the table named amar.
I am setting the class which has the list as a private instance as an entity and using Join tables annotations to map the car objects to the table.

This is the error i am getting into:
org.hibernate.hql.ast.QuerySyntaxException: amar is not mapped [select a From amar a ]


Is this because the Car class is not set as an entity?
Also is there a way where i can retrieve data from the table amar???

HQL deals with Entity classes and not tables. You will have to create a native query if you want to access a table directly. However, this is usually a limited and rare scenario since overdoing it defeats the whole idea behind using hibernate.
