I'm trying to save something in database using Hibernate. Here is how I'm trying do this:
    MyEvent event = new MyEvent();
    event.setEventName("Sample event!!!");
    Configuration configuration = new Configuration().configure();
    SessionFactory sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory();
    Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
    Transaction transaction = session.beginTransaction();
    session.save(event);
    session.flush();
    transaction.commit();
    session.close();
    sessionFactory.close();
Here is my Entity class:
@Entity
public class MyEvent {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
private String eventName;
public MyEvent() {
}
public Long getId() {
    return id;
}
public void setId(Long id) {
    this.id = id;
}
public String getEventName() {
    return eventName;
}
public void setEventName(String eventName) {
    this.eventName = eventName;
}
}
And here is my config file (hibernate.cfg.xml under the resources directory
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
    "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
    "http://hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:8877/hibernate_db</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.username">hiber</property>
    <property name="hibernate.connection.password">root</property>

    <property name="hibernate.show_sql">true</property>
    <mapping class="com.smola.MyEvent"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
Here are dependencies from my pom.xml:
 <dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
        <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
        <version>6.14.3</version>

</dependencies>
Mysql is running in the Docker container. Here is how the docker-compose file looks like:
version: "3"
services:
  db:
    image: mysql:5.7
    restart: always
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=hibernate_db
      - MYSQL_USER=hiber
     - MYSQL_PASSWORD=root
    ports:
      - 8877:3306
When I've created the table manually and change the hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto property to update, it works.
I want to create tables automatically. I can connect to the database, so it isn't the problem with the Docker. What should I change? The error communicate looks like this:
 Caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Table 'hibernate_db.MyEvent' doesn't exist
