Hi Ramu, I'm sorry but I fear I don't understand your question. Do you mean that JBoss should not create tables on deploy? If yes: what is the property "hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" in your "persistence.xml" set to? The following snippet creates tables on deploy and drops them on undeploy: <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop" /> Best regards Wolfgang View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4210329#...
