Hi,
I am using hibernate with struts,
whenever I start the web server it will cteate the sessionfactory object, and also
It is doing the DDL operations like creating the tables & alter the tables
without removing the existing datas in the table.
My cfg file is ..



<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="hibernate.bytecode.use_reflection_optimizer">false</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.1.12:1521:orcl</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">ezytemplate</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">template</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.pool_size">100</property>
<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect</property>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>
<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>
<mapping resource="/hibernate/login.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="/hibernate/jspproperties.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="/hibernate/validation.hbm.xml"/>
<mapping resource="/hibernate/jsppagedefn.hbm.xml"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>


But my expected output is ,
I dont want the hibernate creating the tables & updating the tables whenever the sessionFactory object is created ....


can I have the complete information about the cfg file properties
Especially the below property

<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>
