Hibernate 4 not creating Tables

Question

I am using MySQL5 and my applicationContext.xml has the following beans:

<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"
    destroy-method="close">
    <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
    <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ems" />
    <property name="username" value="root" />
    <property name="password" value="admin" />
</bean>

<bean id="sessionFactory"
    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
    <property name="hibernateProperties">
        <props>
            <prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
            <prop key="hbm2ddl.auto">create</prop>
            <prop key="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ems</prop>
            <prop key="connection.username">root</prop>
            <prop key="connection.password">admin</prop>
            <prop key="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</prop>
        </props>
    </property>
    <property name="mappingDirectoryLocations" value="/WEB-INF/resources/mappings" />
</bean>

I have created a schema named "ems" with MySQL Workbench, but when I deploy the application in console, it prints:

01:22:54,823 INFO  [org.hibernate.cfg.Environment] (MSC service thread 1-2) HHH000206: hibernate.properties not found
01:22:54,827 INFO  [org.hibernate.cfg.Environment] (MSC service thread 1-2) HHH000021: Bytecode provider name : javassist

01:22:56,901 INFO  [org.hibernate.engine.transaction.internal.TransactionFactoryInitiator] (MSC service thread 1-2) HHH000399: Using default transaction strategy (direct JDBC transactions)
01:22:56,908 INFO  [org.hibernate.hql.internal.ast.ASTQueryTranslatorFactory] (MSC service thread 1-2) HHH000397: Using ASTQueryTranslatorFactory

There is no exception in console. But in the schema ems the tables are empty, meaning no table has been created.

The User.hbm.xml resides in the specified location and which is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC 
  "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
  "http://www.jboss.org/dtd/hibernate/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-mapping>
    <class name="app.dev.ems.data.model.User" table="USER">
        <id name="id" column="ID">
            <generator class="native"/>         
        </id>
    </class>
</hibernate-mapping>

Also the User.java is present.

I am using hibernate-core-4.1.1.Final with spring-orm-3.1.1.RELEASE.

What I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

I have made a mistake: The <prop key="hbm2ddl.auto">create</prop> should be <prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</prop>
