MySQL table automatically deleted on Restarting Tomcat Server

Question

I am building a spring MVC web application. I am using Hibernate as my ORM. Whenever I restart my tomcat 7 server, it automatically deletes the table created previously. How to prevent this?

Answer 1

Search for hbm2ddl text somewhere in your configuration, close to Hibernate configuration properties. It should be set to update or none, apparently you have create-drop.
