Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at dao.EmployeeDao.main(EmployeeDao.java:42)

1) This is My bean class
 
package Bean;
 
public class EmployeeBean 
{
	private String firstName;
	private String lastName;
	private String id;
	
	public String getFirstName()
	{
		return firstName;
	}
	
	public void setFirstName(String firstName)
	{
		this.firstName = firstName;
	}
	
	public String getLastName()
	{
		return lastName;
	}
	
	public void setLastName(String lastName)
	{
		this.lastName = lastName;
	}
	
	public String getId()
	{
		return id;
	}
	
	public void setId(String id)
	{
		this.id = id;
	}
 
}
 
 
2) I have created Table called Employee  using oracle with filed names Id,FirstName, LastName
 
 
3) this is mY DAo class for storing the inot database
 
 
package dao;
 
 
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import Bean.EmployeeBean;
 
 
public class EmployeeDao 
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		Session sesssion = null;
		
		try
		  {
			 
			// Configuration configuration = new  Configuration();
			
			 SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
		
			 sesssion = sessionFactory.openSession();
			
			 System.out.println("Inserting   Record ");
			 EmployeeBean employeeBean = new  EmployeeBean();
			 employeeBean.setId("350");
			 employeeBean.setFirstName("Mahesh");
			 employeeBean.setLastName("Kuppusamy");
			 sesssion.save(employeeBean);
		  }
		
		catch (Exception e) 
		 {
			    
				System.out.println(e.getMessage());
		 }
		finally
		{
		  // Actual insert will happen here
			
			sesssion.flush();
			sesssion.close(); 
		}
		
		
	}
 
}
