Hi Klaus,
If you use asadmin deploy with --dropandcreatetables it works in GlassFish the
same way as the "drop-and-create-table" property. I.e. if it's the first deploy
(vs. a redeploy), no attempt will happen to drop the tables.
However if you need to drop them because e.g. you recreated the domain without
undeploying the app, just redeploy your app again (without even running), and
the process will drop the existing tables (as long as they match the tables that
were supposed to be created on the last deploy).
HTH,
