        cfg.configure("hibernate.cfg.xml");// populates the data of the
                                            // configuration file

        // creating seession factory object
        SessionFactory factory = cfg.buildSessionFactory();

        // creating session object
        Session session = factory.openSession();

        // creating transaction object
        Transaction t = session.beginTransaction();

        Query query = session.createQuery("from EMPLOYEE");
        java.util.List list = query.list();
        System.out.println(list);
        t.commit();
        session.close();
    }
