Your application is missing the mapping for the class Customer. If you
use Hibernate with .hbm.xml files, ensure that your Customer.hbm.xml is
mapped in the hibernate.cfg.xml. If you use annotations, check the
Hibernate configuration.

I am pretty sure that it has nothing to do with Jaybird/Firebird...
