Hi all,<\/p>\n
I’ve been making some experiments with the Play Framework<\/a>\u00a0(version 2.4.2) and JPA<\/a> integration (with Hibernate<\/a>\u00a0– version 4.3.10).\u00a0I was trying to make Hibernate generate the SQL Schema based on the JPA annotations I had in my entity classes and stumbled upon the error you see on the title, with the following stack trace:<\/p>\n [ProvisionException: Unable to provision, see the following errors: 1) Error injecting constructor, javax.persistence.PersistenceException: Scripting was requested, but no target was specified<\/strong> at play.db.jpa.DefaultJPAApi$JPAApiProvider.<init>(DefaultJPAApi.java:35) at play.db.jpa.DefaultJPAApi$JPAApiProvider.class(DefaultJPAApi.java:30) while locating play.db.jpa.DefaultJPAApi$JPAApiProvider while locating play.db.jpa.JPAApi<\/em><\/p>\n I found that there are some JPA properties<\/a>\u00a0to make the provider (in my case, Hibernate) generate the scripts for you (standard properties, no need to use\u00a0hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto<\/em> in the persistence.xml file).

That’s what the following properties are for:<\/p>\n You have to tell the JPA provider where to create the scripts, hence the error “scripting requested, but no target specified<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n Add the following properties:<\/p>\n You then get the scripts generated to conf\/db<\/strong>\/.\u00a0Hope that helps someone \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Happy coding!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi all, I’ve been making some experiments with the Play Framework\u00a0(version 2.4.2) and JPA integration (with Hibernate\u00a0– version 4.3.10).\u00a0I was trying to make Hibernate generate the SQL Schema based on the JPA annotations I had in my entity classes and … Continue reading \n
