I fixed your posting to mark your code as actual code and then add actual line breaks. Then it shows up. Hibernate forum is a community forum and maintained by the community and yes, it is so popular it gets attacked too much. If you found a bug in code or docs its best to use hibernate jira tracker at http://hibernate.atlassian.net/ If you want guaranteed responses and support best to buy support. With respect to the code then I dont see where there is  a mistake since it compiles for me. What is the actual error you are getting ?
