camel-neo4j

This component is now included in the camel extra distribution from version 2.10+

The camel-neo4j component allows you to treat Neo4j as a camel producer endpoint. This means you can use this component in to() calls but not from() calls. This component is backed by the Spring Data Neo4j Library.

• As a producer, can create or remove nodes, and create or remove relationships.
• Can support as many endpoints as required, eg for multiple databases across multiple instances.
• Headers set for node id (for created nodes), relationship id (for created relationships)

How to Use

You can use neo4j as an endpoint with the following URI. neo4j:http://hostname[:port]/database[?options]

The available options are

• user - username to Neo4j
• password - password to Neo4j

Then you need to set a header on each message, one of the following enum types

`CREATE_NODE,

REMOVE_NODE,

CREATE_RELATIONSHIP,

REMOVE_RELATIONSHIP,

TRAVERSE,

QUERY`

Eg,

exchange.getIn().setHeader(Neo4jEndpoint.HEADER_OPERATION, Neo4jOperation.CREATE_NODE);

The body of the message is used to determine the node or relationship to manipulate. The following body types are supported:

For CREATE_NODE:

• null body - create default node
• Map body - create node with the properties set from the map

For REMOVE_NODE:

• Long or Integer - remove node using the body as the id
• neo4j Node instance - remove the node specified by that instance

For CREATE_RELATIONSHIP:

• SpringDataRelationship - create relationship specified by any @NodeEntity annoted Spring entities.
• BasicRelationship - create relationship specified by the neo4j node types

For REMOVE_RELATIONSHIP:

• Long or Integer - remove relationship using the body as the id
• SpringDataRelationship - remove relationship specified by the @NodeEntity annoted Spring entities.
• BasicRelationship - remove relationship specified by the neo4j node types

For TRAVERSE:

• null body - throws Neo4jException
• camel-neo4j Traverse dto instance - traverse node using TraversalDescription

From QUERY:

• null body - throws Neo4jException
• camel-neo4j Query dto instance - query using String statement and parameters Map

Tests

camel-neo4j has a complete set of unit tests. In addition there are some integration tests that require you to run a local instance of neo4j. By default the tests will look at localhost:7474 on http://localhost:7474/db/data/
