[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: @Startup and hbm2ddl

If you're using an EntityManagerFactory component (i.e., you're not using the app server's EMF), then the hbm2ddl is run by entityManagerFactory's @Create method. So your @Startup component depends on the database, then you can denote the dependency in the annotation: | @Startup(depends={"yourEntityManagerFactoryNameHere"}) | and your component's @Create method will be run afterwards. However, instead of using an application-scope/@Startup component, I'd recommend using an observer of the org.jboss.seam.postInitialization event. It's a bit cleaner, IMO.
