Olá amigos, tenho uma aplicação com spring e hibernate, no meu arquivo setei todas as propriedades do hibernate, inclusive a do hbm2ddl.auto ;

Mas ao iniciar o contexto do spring, ele não executa a criação/atualização das tabelas.

Como resolver?

Meu applicationContext:

[code]<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?>

</bean>

     &lt;!-- Auto scan the components --&gt;

hibernate.hbm2dll.auto está escrito errado …

hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=update
