Hi!

Sorry if the title of the topic is strange, bu i couldn't write in a better way, my english is a little poor :(

I have a web application that uses Hibernate. In this app, we have a lot of entities that are exported to tables using the SchemaExport utility class. I need to develop another app that will have entities relationated to some entities of the another application. I made a .jar that contains the entities of the first app, but theres a problem. If I use the SchemaExport to create the tables of the new app, the entities of the first app will overwrite the tables that were generated. Is there a way to tell the SchemaExport to not overwrite the existing tables?

Thanx!

Hi everybody!

I think I solved the problem, it´s not the way that I wanted, but It will work.

I was using the "create" method of SchemaExport. This method generates a "drop if exists" clause. Now I´m using the "execute" method.



With the third parameter as false, Hibernate will not generate the drop clause in the sql script, so, if the table already exists, it will be manteined.

If anyone knows a better way to do this, I will be gratefull.

Thanx again!
