I googled out everything possible but i think i am overlooking some basic stuff.Any indication in right direction is appreciated! :)

One thing i considered is that if i have defined in class file NamedQueries, i do not need to mention it in xml file.Please correct me if i am wrong!

Solution

There are several issues here:

1. Your named queries should use entities not tables. If you want native queries you should use NamedNativeQuery instead.

2. You don't need to supply the entity name when fetching the query.

   Change this:

   Query query = session.getNamedQuery("hibernate_tut_emp.Employee.FindCountOfNames");
   

   to:

   Query query = session.getNamedQuery("FindCountOfNames");
