-----------------------------------

可能原因：

某张表有version字段，从hibernate tools生成的hbm文件内容：

<version name="version" type="java.lang.String">

<column name="version" length="128" />

</version>

引起上述错误。

将version字段的名称进行修改，或者将此配置信息修改为：

<property name="version" type="java.lang.String">

<column name="version" length="128" />

</property>

重新发布，即可。
