Hello to everybody,

I'm just trying to map a MySql - View with hibernate. It works fine, but there is still a little problem I would like to have fixed.

The hbm2ddl.auto is set to 'update'. So hibernate wants to create the table (view) on server-startup and it brings out the following error messages in catalina.out:

ERROR 2009-01-13 16:47:54,765 [main] org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaUpdate - Unsuccessful: create table V_EXAMPLE(...) type=InnoDB
ERROR 2009-01-13 16:47:54,765 [main] org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaUpdate - Table 'V_EXAMPLE' already exists

Is there any possibility to map a entity-class with a DB-view without ddl?

p.s: I need the hbm2ddl for the other entity-classes =)

SchemaUpdate is an all or nothing endeavor. Also, it's not recommended for production situations so take that into consideration :) If you feel adventurous, you could file a feature request JIRA for some annotation/config that disables schema update for certain entities....
