Question

All of my tables (MSSQL) use a schema/qualifier/prefix (e.g., abc.Table1, abc.Table2). This qualifier is the same for all of the tables and I would like to specify it as a default to JPA so that I do not need to annotate each class with a custom name string.

This can be done with XML configuration like so:

<entity-mappings>
    <persistence-unit-metadata>
        <persistence-unit-defaults>
            <schema name="abc"/>
        </persistence-unit-defaults>
    </persistence-unit-metadata>
</entity-mappings>

However, I am using the Play Framework where JPA configuration is done in the webapps’s application.conf file. Is it possible to declare this attribute?

Have you tried to add hibernate.default_schema=abc to your application.conf? Play should support setting additional Hibernate properties this way.
