Anil Arora commented on AS7-6327:
---------------------------------

I would definitely like something that allows me to do whatever.  In particular, I'm trying to use flyway (http://flywaydb.org) to bring the database up to speed.  As far as I can tell, there's nothing really out there that exists to support this case, except if you use Seam or Spring and manage the EntityManagerFactory, whose creation is what triggers the validation of the schema.
I believe something is happening in future releases of the JPA, but having this support for earlier versions of the JPA would be extremely helpful.

> Looking for a simple callback/listener mechanism so that we can invoke a database migration script before JPA persistent unit starts up and runs the Hibernate schema validation mechanism.
> Ideally, there would be a property within the persistence.xml that indicates which class to call.  It would also pass in/inject the datasource that is being used for the persistence unit. 
> Essentially, this would solve the lack of migration support in Hibernate itself.
