Embedded Sqlite database with Ormlite and JavaFX: error creating table

I am trying to persist some data in my JavaFX application. My code fails when attempting to create a table in my PersistenceManager class:

private final static String DATABASE_URL = "jdbc:sqlite:my.db";
private final static String DATABASE_DRIVER = "org.sqlite.JDBC";
// ...
    Class.forName(DATABASE_DRIVER);
    DriverManager.getConnection(DATABASE_URL);
    connectionSource = new JdbcConnectionSource(DATABASE_URL);
    // here it fails:
    TableUtils.createTable(connectionSource,MyClass.class);

A file my.db is actually created, but it is empty. When executing TableUtils.createTable, it triggers the following:

My Class is this:

@DatabaseTable(tableName = "myclass")
public class MyClass {
    @DatabaseField(id = true)
    private String nome;

    @ForeignCollectionField(eager = false)
    private Collection<MyOtherClass> risposte;

    protected MyClass() {
        super();
    }
}

and MyOtherClass is:

@DatabaseTable(tableName = "myotherclass")
public class MyOtherClass {
    @DatabaseField(id = true)
    private String nome;

    @DatabaseField(foreign = true)
    private MyClass scheda;

    protected MyOtherClass() {
        super();
    }
}

What should I look for correcting this?
