Auto Update OpenJPA tables

Is there a way to tell OpenJPA to automatically update tables in the database on application deployment?

I know that hibernate has a property:

<prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</prop>

Is there something similar in OpenJPA?

Solution

  • Yes:

    <property name="openjpa.jdbc.SynchronizeMappings" value="buildSchema"/>
