Hi folks,

I'm using Hibernate as persistence provider within JBoss Application Server 6. Within my project, I've created a class User.java which I've annotated to be an entity. Strangely, when I deploy my project, the mapped table is only created in my database when I add the @table annotation and specified a name which must be different from the entity class simple name.

Here's my entity class :

@Entity
@Table(name="Users")
public class User {
...
}

To summarize :

- No @Table annotation --> no table created in my database
- @Table annotation with no table name specified --> no table created in my database (due to the fact that when no name specified, its default value is the entity class simple name, I guess)
- @Table annotation with name="User" --> no table created in my database
- @Table annotation with name != "User" --> OK

Does someone know why?

Thanks in advance.

"USER" is a SQL keyword (as in "CREATE USER"). The same with "GROUP", for example.

What a dumb ass I am !!! Didn't even figure this out ...

Anyway, thanks a lot
