Spring/Hibernate: Entity is not mapped

Question

I'm doing a Spring/Hibernate MVC CRUD project (which can be found here: https://github.com/Benjamin-Re/customer-tracker-demo/tree/main/web-customer-tracker1/src/base_package/de/entity). In the servlet I declare the base-package to be scanned. However it does not scan the sub-packages. I receive the error that my entity "is not mapped".

org.hibernate.hql.internal.ast.QuerySyntaxException: Customer is not mapped [from Customer]

I specified only the entity package to be scanned and the error goes away. But then the other packages are not scanned for beans and so no mapping can be found.

I tried to list the sub packages like this:

But the Entity is not found. I get the same error.

I also tried to list them like this:

Here I don't get an error but a warning: No mapping for GET /web-customer-tracker1/customer/list. So I guess it can't find the controller.

I then tried to put all classes directly in one package. I then receive the error: Error creating bean with name 'customerController': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'customerService' So here now it doesn't find the customerService bean. As you can see each bean has the correct annotation @Entity, @Controller, @Repository, @Service. I checked the imports and they are org.springframework.stereotype.

What am I doing wrong here? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

has nothing to do with Entity scanning. You should leave it as you have it

Going through your github repo the answer is in spring-mvc-crud-demo-servlet.xml and more specifically in the declaration of sessionFactory. There you have a property named packagesToScan and this property should be set to the package of your Entities and not to "controller" as it is right now.
