Issue with Hibernate Update Basi Query

[Steve James]

Hi. I'm new in Hibernate so I have a little obstacles about understanding. Trying to update Object using HQL .

public class Contact  implements java.io.Serializable {


     private String empid;
     private String age;
     private String name;

              String hql = "update Contact set name = :newName where empid =:newempid";
            Query query = session.createQuery(hql);
            query.setString("newName", "Johnny");
            query.setString("newempid", "106");
            int rowCount = query.executeUpdate();

This is what i am doing ,

query.setString("newName", "Johnny"); // Here it should be newName or name ?

Please tell your suggestions .

Well as far as I know, you'll have to use newName and not name...

Thanks Ankit , i want to try it but it gives me permgenspace , and i don't know how to fix this in Netbeans , so posted this question.

Anyways thanks , i will try it in eclipse.
