Base Data vs. User Data & hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto on redeploy

[toni]

Hi,

I have a few tables which contain base data and others which contains user data.

Since the base data never changes, I would like those tables to remain in the database no matter what.

However, the user data tables should be recreated at times, when the entity beans interface change slightly.

Is it somehow possible to configure JBoss so that when I redeploy my applicaiton only the user data tables get dropped and recreated, but the base data tables stay unchanged??

Actually I have another question relating to the one above. If I use



then will only the tables, for which I defined entity beans be dropped or all tables?

I have tried this line



but unfortantely it does not create the missing tables.
