You may need to create the database yourself, then Hibernate will create the tables for you. I had the same problem and my db user was root so I just assumed that Hibernate would create the database - but it wasn't. As soon as I created the schema, everything worked fine.
If so, you should have a persistence. Xml in src/main/resources/META-INF. Do you have a property named "hibernate.
Hbm2ddl. Auto" there? What is its value?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
