Luis, I don't know of any elegant extension point for this problem but I would try extending the DBDictionary you are using. You could override the getCreateTableSQL method. Since it takes table definition as parameter and you know your view names, you might decide whether to call super implementation or create a view. Problems may arise when OpenJPA tries to drop table/view or apply integrity constraints but there are methods for those also.
