                <generator class="foreign" >

       "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD//EN"
       "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">

       <hibernate-mapping>
        <class name="bean.Employee" table="eployee">

            <property name="phone" column="PHONE"/>
        </class>
       </hibernate-mapping>

yes, By mistake I created my table as eployee instead Employee. so I maintained it. — Srivatsa N, Nov 20 '12 at 12:14
edit your post & paste the code with proper formatting. it's horrible to read a mapping file in comments. — RAS, Nov 20 '12 at 12:39
Sidenote: Have a look at Lombok to get rid of the need to write getters and setters manually. — Marius, Nov 20 '12 at 13:27

change your code from

 EployeeDetails   Edetails;

this

 EployeeDetails    Edetails = new EployeeDetails();

check property name used in hbm for EployeeDetails should be same as your object name.of course case sensitive – rajesh kakawat Nov 20 '12 at 11:37
Yes Rajesh, It is same . I have attached my mapping file as a reply for @RAS – Srivatsa N Nov 20 '12 at 12:03

The problem is in Employee.hbm.xml. Whenever you specify a one-to-one tag, you need to specify 2 basic attributes:

name which represents name of the property. In you case it should be Edetails & not eployeedetail. THIS IS THE REASON YOU'RE GETTING THE EXCEPTION.
class which represents the class name which is associated as one-to-one with this class. In your case it should be EployeeDetails.

Change Employee.hbm.xml, change one-to-one tag attribute name to Edetails & your problem will be solved.

The description of the reason for the error is correct. But, the one-to-one doesn't have a column. one-to-one if not a many-to-one. It doesn't have a foreign key. It is based on linked primary keys or, bay using property-ref, linked foreign keys. – Stefan Steinegger Nov 21 '12 at 06:42
@StefanSteinegger, yes you're right. Thanks for pointing out. I've corrected the answer. – RAS Nov 21 '12 at 07:11
