Constructor Detail

EmbeddedReadOnlyNeo

public EmbeddedReadOnlyNeo(String storeDir)

EmbeddedReadOnlyNeo

public EmbeddedReadOnlyNeo(String storeDir,
                           Map<String,String> params)

Method Detail

loadConfigurations

public static Map<String,String> loadConfigurations(String file)

A non-standard Convenience method that loads a standard property file and converts it into a generic Map. Will most likely be removed in future releases.

Parameters:

file - the property file to load

Returns:

a map containing the properties from the file

createNode

public Node createNode()

Description copied from interface: NeoService

Creates a new node.

Specified by:

createNode in interface NeoService

Returns:

the created node.

getNodeById

public Node getNodeById(long id)

Description copied from interface: NeoService

Looks up a node by id.

Specified by:

getNodeById in interface NeoService

Parameters:

id - the id of the node

Returns:

the node with id id if found

getRelationshipById

public Relationship getRelationshipById(long id)

Description copied from interface: NeoService

Looks up a relationship by id.

Specified by:

getRelationshipById in interface NeoService

Parameters:

id - the id of the relationship

Returns:

the relationship with id id if found

getReferenceNode

public Node getReferenceNode()

Description copied from interface: NeoService

Returns the reference node, which is a "starting point" in the node space. Usually, a client attaches relationships to this node that leads into various parts of the node space. For more information about common node space organizational patterns, see the design guide at http://neo4j.org/doc.

Specified by:

getReferenceNode in interface NeoService

Returns:

the reference node

shutdown

public void shutdown()

Description copied from interface: NeoService

Shuts down Neo4j. After this method has been invoked, it's invalid to invoke any methods in the Neo4j API and all references to this instance of NeoService should be discarded.

Specified by:

shutdown in interface NeoService

enableRemoteShell

public boolean enableRemoteShell()

Description copied from interface: NeoService

Enables remote shell access (with default configuration) to this Neo4j instance, if the Neo4j shell component is available on the classpath. This method is identical to invoking enableRemoteShell( null ).

Specified by:

enableRemoteShell in interface NeoService

Returns:

true if the shell has been enabled, false otherwise (false usually indicates that the shell jar dependency is not on the classpath)

enableRemoteShell

public boolean enableRemoteShell(Map<String,Serializable> initialProperties)

Description copied from interface: NeoService

Enables remote shell access to this Neo4j instance, if the Neo4j shell component is available on the classpath. This will publish a shell access interface on an RMI registry on localhost (with configurable port and RMI binding name). It can be accessed by a client that implements org.neo4j.util.shell.ShellClient from the Neo4J shell project. Typically, the shell binary package is used (see neo4j.org/download).

The shell is parameterized by a map of properties passed in to this method. Currently, two properties are used:

• port, an Integer describing the port of the RMI registry where the Neo4j shell will be bound, defaults to 1337
• name, the String under which the Neo4j shell will be bound in the RMI registry, defaults to shell

Specified by:

enableRemoteShell in interface NeoService

Parameters:

initialProperties - a set of properties that will be used to configure the remote shell, or null if the default properties should be used

Returns:

true if the shell has been enabled, false otherwise (false usually indicates that the shell jar dependency is not on the classpath)

getRelationshipTypes

public Iterable<RelationshipType> getRelationshipTypes()

Description copied from interface: NeoService

Returns all relationship types currently in the underlying store. Relationship types are added to the underlying store the first time they are used in a successfully commited node.createRelationshipTo(...). Note that this method is guaranteed to return all known relationship types, but it does not guarantee that it won't return more than that (e.g. it can return "historic" relationship types that no longer have any relationships in the node space).

Specified by:

getRelationshipTypes in interface NeoService

Returns:

all relationship types in the underlying store

beginTx

public Transaction beginTx()

Description copied from interface: NeoService

Starts a new transaction and associates it with the current thread.

Specified by:

beginTx in interface NeoService

Returns:

a new transaction instance

Throws:

TransactionFailureException - if unable to start transaction

getConfig

public Config getConfig()

Returns a non-standard configuration object. Will most likely be removed in future releases.

Returns:

a configuration object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getStoreDir

public String getStoreDir()

getAllNodes

public Iterable<Node> getAllNodes()

Description copied from interface: NeoService

Returns all nodes in the node space.

Specified by:

getAllNodes in interface NeoService

Returns:

all nodes in the node space
