    <p>I am developing a website using Spring+JPA+Hibernate. In the persistence configuration (JPA+Hibernate) I'm setting the HibernateJpaVendorAdapter's generateDdl attribute to true and in fact new entities correctly create the new table in the DB.</p> <p>Once the table has been created, though, if I add an attribute to the entity, I'm expecting the HibernateJpaVendorAdapter to alter the table and add the column as well. This is not happening and it's strange because in the Java AbstractJpaVendorAdapter's setGenerateDdl method documentation there is: "Set whether to generate DDL after the EntityManagerFactory has been initialized, creating/<strong>updating</strong> all relevant tables."</p> <p>JPA+Hibernate configuration:</p> <pre><code>&lt;bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource"&gt; &lt;property name="driverClassName" value="${db.driverClassName}" /&gt; &lt;property name="url" value="${db.url}" /&gt; &lt;property name="username" value="${db.username}" /&gt; &lt;property name="password" value="${db.password}" /&gt; &lt;/bean&gt; &lt;bean id="jpaAdapter" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter"&gt; &lt;property name="databasePlatform" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect" /&gt; &lt;property name="showSql" value="${db.showSql}" /&gt; &lt;property name="generateDdl" value="${db.generateDdl}" /&gt; &lt;/bean&gt; &lt;bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean"&gt; &lt;property name="jpaVendorAdapter" ref="jpaAdapter" /&gt; &lt;property name="jpaProperties"&gt; &lt;props&gt; &lt;prop key="hibernate.show_sql"&gt;true&lt;/prop&gt; &lt;prop key="hibernate.format_sql"&gt;true&lt;/prop&gt; &lt;/props&gt; &lt;/property&gt; &lt;property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" /&gt; &lt;/bean&gt; </code></pre> <p>persistence.xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd" version="1.0"&gt; &lt;persistence-unit name="m8tsPU" /&gt; &lt;/persistence&gt; </code></pre> <p>Am I doing something wrong?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
