Hello @Moses_Mutesasira, @mherman22, @tasksolver, I’ve been writing tests for the `TestReflexService` class, but this `public ReflexRule getReflexRuleByAnalyteId(String analyteId) throws LIMSRuntimeException` breaks even before reaching the Assertion stage. I tried debugging it and it looks like there problem lies here: `String sql = "from ReflexRule r WHERE r.analyteId = :analyteId";` because `ReflexRule` has no hibernate mapping and its not a table too. Please, I need some advice on how to fix this in order to continue with the tests. **Error logs** ```auto Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: org.hibernate.QueryException: in expected: r [from ReflexRule r WHERE r.analyteId = :analyteId] at org.hibernate.internal.ExceptionConverterImpl.convert(ExceptionConverterImpl.java:138) at org.hibernate.internal.ExceptionConverterImpl.convert(ExceptionConverterImpl.java:181) at org.hibernate.internal.ExceptionConverterImpl.convert(ExceptionConverterImpl.java:188) at org.hibernate.internal.AbstractSharedSessionContract.createQuery(AbstractSharedSessionContract.java:757) at org.hibernate.internal.AbstractSharedSessionContract.createQuery(AbstractSharedSessionContract.java:848) at org.hibernate.internal.AbstractSharedSessionContract.createQuery(AbstractSharedSessionContract.java:114) at org.openelisglobal.testreflex.daoimpl.ReflexRuleDAOImpl.getReflexRuleByAnalyteId(ReflexRuleDAOImpl.java:25) ... 49 more ``` ---

Well, I mean the Hibernate-mapping xml file like here [these files](https://github.com/DIGI-UW/OpenELIS-Global-2/blob/develop/src/main/resources/hibernate/hbm/) Isn’t it necessary? ---
