Spring/Hibernate/Hypersonic

Question

Sorry for post Spring questions here. But I believe only here I can meet gurus.
Hi,
I have download "Spring Live" sample example in order to learn Spring framework.
I did not understand and "ant deploy", how a hypersonic data base could be created. But it is the case.
I checked target "deploy" and "compile", nowhere could I see the creation of database.
Any explaination?
Thanks!

I did not understand and "ant deploy", how a
hypersonic data base could be created. But it is the
case.It doesn't and it shouldn't. Creating a database is not a part of the application compilation or deployment. You might add something to execute a script for creating tables if you really wnat to.
