I couldn't find a reference on how to switch hbm2ddl off.

A:
in hibernate.properties
hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=validate
Of course, the place to configure it depends on the way you configure your hibernate - if it is programatically, set the property there. If it is from hibernate.cfg.xml:
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">validate</property>

That means the hbm2ddl can't switched off?What is the default value of hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto when it is not mentioned in the property file or hibernate.cfg.xml file?

@Alex - I assumed you have tried, and having problems. See Pascal's answer. "Validate" means that hibernate checks whether the mappings are consistent with the DB at launch time.

A:
Just omitting hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto defaults to Hibernate not doing anything. From the reference documentation:
1.1.4. Hibernate configuration
The
hbm2ddl.autooption turns on automatic generation of database schemas directly into the database. This can also be turned off by removing the configuration option, or redirected to a file with the help of the SchemaExport Ant task.
It seems also possible to set hbm2ddl.auto to none (this is undocumented). Not tested though.
