    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence

        <provider> org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
        <properties>

            <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"/>
            <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE"/>
            <property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="user"/>
            <property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="password"/>
            <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect"/>

        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Solution

You can add this property

<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update"/> 

The possible values for this property are:

• validate: Only validates the schema
• update: Update the schema
• create: Create the schema, override previous data
• create-drop: Create the schema and drop the schema at the end of the session
