Hi All, I have the applicationContext.xml on the classpath with the sessionFactory bean. I am using Spring loaded hibernate connection. Now when I test the connection I get a strange error: org.hibernate.hql.ast.QuerySyntaxException: unexpected token: Address near line 1, column 27 [select address as address Address as address] Even when i tried commenting out all the mappings in the XML file,still got same error. I do not have any Address table or mapping defined, its strange that how the above query is getting fired. Please help on this.Thanks in advance
