Hi,
I found that GF container has bug if there is <property name="
toplink.ddl-generation.output-mode" value="both"/> property. This is not
required property in GF container, could you remove this? Then dropping
tables would not occur.
Marina,
PersistenceProcessor in cmp module is overriding property
toplink.ddl-generation with "drop-and-create-tables" in Line 468. If
toplink.ddl-generation.output-mode is "both", TopLink try to both generate
jdbc files and drop/create tables by itself. Hence,TopLink drops tables even
if user specified toplink.ddl-generation as "create-tables".
I think It should be fixed by overriding "toplink.ddl-generation.output-mode"
value to "sql-script" also when container try to generate DDLs.
Cheers,
-Wonseok
