I want Hibernate to create the tables automatically for me. I do not have a SQL schema designed for the data I am trying to store, I have POJOs with EJB3 persistence annotations. > Actually you can have Hibernate take care of the DDL via the > 'hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create-drop' property. I already have Hibernate properly configured to use Derby and to create the tables for me, that is not the issue. The issue that I am having is that Derby is throwing an exception after creating the tables claiming that the tables and views it just created do not exist. This only happens the first time that I run the application. If I restart the application with the same setting, since the DB already exists I do not have a problem. It would however be in poor form to require that I start the application twice every time that I want to do something with it, so I am looking for a potential fix/workaround other than restarting the app for this situation.
