Farah Juma Karel Piwko Tadeas Kriz Andrea Vibelli Sebastien Blanc looks like, we have to run the migrator on OpenShift in all cases, since the "hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value is now validate.

Using validate makes sense, to avoid undesired schema changes, I agree with Douglas Campos on that.

The pity here is that it does not create the schema, when the DB is empty, and contains no tables. I think the only way out of this is actually running the migrator.
