Hi Guys,

In development, I succesfully have hibernate configured to create tables automatically by configuring Hibernate in Spring as shown below, basically setting <prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</prop>
But for creating schema in live database , I want save the DDL to a file rather than run it automatically, editing some of the DDL. Is this possible when Hibernate is configured in Spring (I know there is a maven plugin, but it depends on Hibernate being configured without benefit of Spring)

Thanks in advance, Eliot
