using hibernates to access data from database.

package sri;

import org.hibernate.Criteria;
import org.hibernate.Query;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.criterion.Restrictions;

public class RssImpl
{
    Session session = null;

    public RssBean getRssData(String title)throws Exception
    {
    session = HibernateUtil.currentSession();

    RssBean rssBean = new RssBean();
    Criteria crit = session.createCriteria(RssBean.class);
    crit.add(Restrictions.eq("itemTitle", title));
    if(crit.list().size()>0)
        rssBean = (RssBean) crit.list().get(0);
   
    /*String hql = "FROM RssBean as rBean WHERE rbean.itemTitle ='"+ title +"'";
    Query query = session.createQuery(hql);
    if(query.list().size()>0)
        rssBean = (RssBean) query.list().get(0);*/

    return rssBean;

    }

}


create a bean class:

package sri;

import java.io.Serializable;
import java.sql.Timestamp;

public class RssBean implements Serializable{
   
    private String cpyRight;
        private String itemTitle;
    private String desc;
    private String channLink;
    private String lang;
    private Timestamp pubDate;
    private String itemLink;
    private String itemDesc;
   
    public String getCpyRight()
    {
        return cpyRight;
    }
    public void setCpyRight(String cpyRight)
    {
        this.cpyRight = cpyRight;
    }
    public String getItemTitle()
    {
        return itemTitle;
    }
    public void setItemTitle(String itemTitle)
    {
        this.itemTitle = itemTitle;
    }
    public String getDesc()
    {
        return desc;
    }
    public void setDesc(String desc)
    {

    }
    public String getChannLink()
    {

    }
    public void setChannLink(String channLink)
    {
        this.channLink = channLink;
    }
    public String getLang()
