I had to add a new method to JDBCSupport to act as a hook. JDBCSupport is doing a crosscheck betwen sqlProperties and default statements. When you define POPULATE.TABLES... JDBCSupport throws an exception during start. protected boolean ignoreVerificationOnStartup(String statementName) | { | // Do not cross-check on POPULATE.TABLES. as we just load the tables with them | if (statementName.startsWith("POPULATE.TABLES.")) | { | return true; | } | return false; | } View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4012228#...
