The Java binding for the Neo4j Server REST API wraps the REST calls behind the well known GraphDatabaseService API.

Currently supports:

---

• all the node and relationship operations
• the new Index API
• Basic Http Auth (Digest)
• preliminary traversal support
• cypher, gremlin support
• support for batch API
• preliminary support for arbitrary server plugins and extensions

Open issues:

---

• full traversal support

Usage:

Build it locally. Then use the maven / ivy dependency or copy the jar into your app.

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.neo4j</groupId>
	<artifactId>neo4j-rest-graphdb</artifactId>
	<version>1.6.M02</version>
</dependency>

GraphDatabaseService gds = new RestGraphDatabase(new URI("http://localhost:7474/db/data"));
GraphDatabaseService gds = new RestGraphDatabase(new URI("http://localhost:7474/db/data"),username,password);

<bean id="graphDbService" class="org.neo4j.rest.graphdb.RestGraphDatabase" destroy-method="shutdown">
    <constructor-arg index="0" value="http://localhost:7474/db/data" />
</bean>
</pre>

Please note: Transactions are not supported over this API.
