Could not determine type for: java.util.Map, at table: for columns

Hello Friends,
I am new to hibernate and trying to run a hibernate program in which I need to return a map from an entity. I am getting below error, any clue?

Hey error shows that it is not getting type. I think you are missing mapping to the entity. Use a mapping like @OneToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL).
