java.lang.ClassNotFoundException in Spring project - spring

Question

Somehow, It looks like I have a class which can't be seen by spring. I'm new to the framework and i can't see where is the problem. Is it a problem from the version i used in dependencies or is it another thing ? This is the stack trace:

}
Is there anything i should add ?

Answer 1

You don't need to use hibernate mapping file if you are already using annotations in the Entity. Like one of the comments above says, you are mixing up between annotations and xml configuration.

Answer 2

It looks like you have a typo in your hibernate.cfg.xml file.
<session-factory>
<mapping class="com.sss.model.Stock" />
</session-factory>
There is no need of the .java ending.
