Exception while trying a add a new Persistent Entity.
I added a new table in the database for Employee records. Created a bean for the same with a named query as shown below.
 @Entity
@NamedQuery(name
 = "getEmployeeData", query = "select EmployeeEntity from EMPLOYEE  
EmployeeEntity where EmployeeEntity.DEPT=:deptId")
@Table(name = "EMPLOYEE")
public class EmployeeEntity {
}
Code to invoke this query.
EntityManager em;
....
....
Query getEmployeeDataQuery = em.createNamedQuery("getEmployeeData");
getEmployeeDataQuery.setParameter("deptId", deptId);            
ArrayList<Employee> employeeList= getEmployeeDataQuery .getResultList();
While trying to invoke this query I am getting following exception :  
SEVERE: Exception Occured : EJB Exception: ; nested exception is:

Solution to the problem :
I forgot to add the persistent entity in my persistence.xml file. It resolved the issue,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0"
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
