That property just acts like Toplink in terms of creating (and dropping
first, so its really only a dev-env property with the 'create-drop'
value, there's an 'update' one which updates the schema etc) tables
based on the entities you've defined, not running any data-loading
script you might have floating around.
If none of the other suggestions are appropriate (and I thought creating
the data as part of the script to deploy the application was), maybe a
web context listener that checks a field in a control table and runs a
script if the value hasn't been set to true (which'd happen at the end
of the script/s).
