Hibernate Error - Caused by: org.hibernate.DuplicateMappingException: duplicate import:
In hibernate, You cannot have two classes with the same name in the same or different packages else you will get an error at runtime like " Caused by: org.hibernate.DuplicateMappingException: duplicate import: ....(try using auto-import="false ")" I have resolved this issue by adding property name on the Entity annotation. Let us suppose I have Meta class in two different packages "com.database.user" and "com.database.group', you can resolve it as : package com.database.user @Entity( name= "com.database.user" ) @Table(name="USER_META") public class Meta package com.database.group @Entity( name= "com.database.group" ) @Table(name="GROUP_META") public class Meta There must be some other ways too to resolve this issue, So please feel free to share it :)
