I have installed neo4j version 1.9.5 and tried some java sample to access / write data into graphdb, but for every action the existing graph db instance is created newly using below, graphDb = new GraphDatabaseFactory().newEmbeddedDatabase("c:/movies/moviesdb"); so is it possible to access and execute cypher query through java on active Neo4j db without REST API concept.

Note : Consider Ne04j DB is already started and running

When running Neo4j as a server process, you communicate with your DB only via REST. The other usage model is embedded. Here you're application code controls the lifecycle of the DB by using new GraphDatabaseFactory().newEmbeddedDatabase(). These two modes are distinct.
