ColdFusion ORM: Table/View does not exist

I've created a simple ColdFusion 9 ORM test as follows.

Application.cfc:

component {
  this.ormenabled = "true";
  this.datasource = "cfartgallery";
  this.ormsettings.logSQL = "true";
  }

State.cfc: 

component persistent="true" {
  property name="state_code" type="string" fieldtype="id";
  property name="state_name" type="string" fieldtype="column";
  }

index.cfm:

<cfscript>
ormreload();
</cfscript>

<cfdump var="#EntityLoad("State")#" />

Upon calling index.cfm I get the following error:

Error while loading the entity.

java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: Table/View 'State' does not exist.

The error occurred in D:/WebDocs/tada/data/misc/basicorm/index.cfm: line 62
60 : </cfscript>
61 : 
62 : <cfdump var="#EntityLoad("State")#" />

However, if I change index.cfm to use cfquery, shown below, a recordset is returned as expected without error. 

<cfquery name="getstates" datasource="cfartgallery">
  SELECT * FROM State
</cfquery>

I know that State.cfc is being processed because I can change the file to cause errors. Can anyone think of the problem? Thanks.

You need to enable the dbcreate setting for ORM config. Either set it to update or dropcreate. By default ORM will not create new or update tables based on persistent CFCs.
