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
