So anybody can say me where is here a mistake? Thanks.

UPD: Project Structure.

Project Structure

Well. I didn't find a solution, but annotations helped me.

Somehow Hibernate has problems parsing your Users.hbm.xml file and doesn't know/understands the "hibernate-mapping". Because I'm using Annotation instead of config through hbm-files, I can't tell you more. — ssindelar, Oct 07 '13 at 09:00

You Can Remove 'Package Name' in 'hibernate-mapping' attribute and run the project. Project runs successfullly. And I can tell you why you have that exception, to explain this all we need to know the package hierarchy and its classes. Otherwise it might be problem of DTD header in Hibernate mapping xml file — Hareesh, Oct 07 '13 at 09:05

Change your type of mappings from Java types to Hibernate types: For String i am giving as example:

 <property name="logMsg" type="string">
            <column name="LOG_MSG" length="35" />
        </property>
