Hibernate and Spring - Database tables not being automatically created

Question

I have been trying to use Spring and Hibernate together. At the moment I am trying to make Hibernate create the tables automatically. According to the documentation and examples I have found online, this should be achievable by setting the hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto to create, create-drop or update. For some reason this is not working. Below is where I am declaring my beans (in \WEB-INF\dispatcher-servlet.xml):

<bean id="myDataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"
    destroy-method="close">
    <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
    <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/MY_SHOP" />
    <property name="username" value="root" />
    <property name="password" value="root" />
</bean>


<bean id="sessionFactory"
    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
    <property name="dataSource" ref="myDataSource" />
    <property name="annotatedClasses">
        <list>
            <value>com.crimsonwing.dto.UserDTO</value>
        </list>
    </property>
    <property name="hibernateProperties">
        <props>
            <prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</prop>
        </props>
    </property>

</bean>

<bean id="hibernateTemplate" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTemplate">
    <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>

<bean id="transactionManager"
    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
    <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>

This is how I am declaring my DTO:

@Entity
@Table(name = "USER", uniqueConstraints = @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = { "EMAIL", "UID" }))
public class UserDTO implements Serializable
{
/**
 * 
 */
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

// Validation Annotation
@Size(min = 8, max = 30, message = "User name must be between 8 and 30 characters long.")
// Database Anotation
@Column(name = "NAME", insertable = true, updatable = true, nullable = false)
private String name;

// Validation Annotation
@NumberFormat(style = Style.NUMBER)
@Min(1)
@Max(99)
// Database Anotation
@Column(name = "AGE", insertable = true, updatable = true, nullable = false)
private int age;

// Validation Annotation
@UniqueEmail
@Email(message = "Email is incorrect format.")
@NotEmpty(message = "Email cannot be left empty")
// Database Anotation
@Column(name = "EMAIL", insertable = true, updatable = true, nullable = false)
private String email;

// Database Anotation
@Id
@Column(name = "UID", insertable = false, updatable = false, nullable = false)
@GeneratedValue()
private String userUID;

public UserDTO(String name, int age, String email)
{
    super();
    this.name = name;
    this.age = age;
    this.email = email;
}

public UserDTO()
{
    /* WILL BE USED BY HIBERNATE */
}

...

And this is how I am trying to access the database:

@Repository
public class UserDAOImpl implements IUserDAO
{
    @Resource
    private HibernateTemplate hibernateTemplate;

    @Override
    public bbolean userExists(String userEmail)
    {
        UserDTO user = new UserDTO();
        user.setEmail(userEmail);

        DetachedCriteria detachedCriteria = DetachedCriteria.forClass(user.getClass());

        return (this.hibernateTemplate.findByCriteria(detachedCriteria).size() > ) ? true : false;
    }
...

Anyone can point me out in the right direction? Is there a missing setting or something I did wrong? I am using MySQL version 5.1.58-1ubuntu1 on an Ubuntu x64 platform with spring 3.1 and hibernate 3.6.10.

Thanks.

Edit:

As per parasietje's suggestion, this is the resulting HQL: Hibernate: select this_.UID as UID2_0_, this_.AGE as AGE2_0_, this_.EMAIL as EMAIL2_0_, this_.NAME as NAME2_0_ from USER this_

I do not get any other HQL. If I remember correctly, when the table is being created you also get to see the resulting HQL statement, which is not what is happening in this case.

@pap: Yes I know, unfortunately that is a mistake I made while pasting the code. I have made the changes updated the stacktrace. — npinti

Are you getting any error? Try by writing a method that will insert the data?That might help us debug more. — ManuPK

Can you add the property hibernate.show_sql=true so Hibernate shows all SQL? — parasietje

@ManuPK: I am using a custom validator to see if a user with the same ID exists. When I run the query, I get an error saying that the table cannot be found, as shown in my original question. — npinti

Does the schema MY_SHOP actually exists, my understanding is Hibernate is not gonna create a schema , it will just create class under an existing schema.

So try creating the schema if not and also try adding the schema in the table annotation.

@Entity
@Table(name = "USER", , schema="MY_SHOP", uniqueConstraints = @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = { "EMAIL", "UID" }))
public class UserDTO implements Serializable
{
