HibernateJpaVendorAdapter sets hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto to "update" [SPR-6836]

[spring-projects-issues]

Ivan Balashov opened SPR-6836 and commented

When HibernateJpaVendorAdapter is configured with generateDdl="true" the value of hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto is set to "update", overriding actual value specified in persistence.xml.

Affects: 2.5.6

Well, that's the point of the "generateDdl" flag: It will set the corresponding property of the underlying persistence provider. If you'd rather configure those properties natively (e.g. in persistence.xml), then simply don't bother with setting "generateDdl" on the JpaVendorAdapter...

This flag is rather misleading for Hibernate, which beside "update" also has "create" and "create-drop" options.

To enable "create", generateDdl should be set to "false", which at the first sight doesn't make any sense.

This issue has been resolved through a selective bulk update, as part of a larger effort to better manage unresolved issues. To qualify for the update, the issue was either created before Spring 3.0 or affects a version older than Spring 3.0 and is not a bug.

There is a good chance the request was made obsolete, or at least partly outdated, by changes in later versions of Spring including deprecations. It is also possible it didn't get enough traction or we didn't have enough time to address it. One way or another, we didn't get to it.

If you believe the issue, or some aspects of it, are still relevant and worth pursuing at present you may re-open this issue or create a new one with a more up-to-date description.

We thank you for your contributions and encourage you to become familiar with the current process of managing Spring Framework JIRA issues that has been in use for over a year.
