Valid setup of spring-data-neo4f with neo4j 2

Question

I 'm having a hard time setting up my project using spring-data-neo4j and the new neo4j version 2.0 (as I would like to use the new Labels in neo4j)

After a bid of digging around, I found spring-data-neo4j 3.0.0.RC1 in the maven repositories. Also, I would like to use neo4j-spatial. Relevant maven dependencies are as follows defined:

        <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.0.RELEASE</version>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
                <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.0.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.0.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-tx</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.0.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.0.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-data-neo4j</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.0.RC1</version>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>org.hibernate.javax.persistence</groupId>
                <artifactId>hibernate-jpa-2.0-api</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.neo4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>neo4j-spatial</artifactId>
        <version>0.12-neo4j-2.0.0-M06</version>
    </dependency>

The application context is following the examples on the project web site:

<context:annotation-config/>
<context:spring-configured/>
<context:component-scan base-package="org.some.packages"/>

<neo4j:config storeDirectory="target/my.db"/>
<neo4j:repositories base-package="org.some.packages.repository"/>


<tx:annotation-driven mode="proxy"/>

I do not use AspectJ.

When I start the project, I get the following exception:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'someRepository': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.neo4j.graphdb.TransactionFailureException: Unable to commit transaction

at org.springframework.data.neo4j.support.index.IndexProviderImpl.getIndex(IndexProviderImpl.java:108)

The ´´´someRepository´´´ bean that fails is a simple interface extending GraphRepository.

The setup worked with the latest stable release if spring-data-neo4j (which usses neo4j 1.9 under the hood)

Any ideas?

EDIT: I have an attribute on one of my @NodeEntity that has the following index definition:

    @Indexed(indexType = IndexType.POINT, indexName = "someIndexName", unique = false)

If I remove this index, the application context can be started.

I was able to solve this problem by adding some other dependencies in my pom.xml file:

In particular please check out the "Neo4j Geo-Spatial" section: I was able to finally solve your same problem adding those two geo-tools dependencies.

I'm using SDN 3.0.1 with neo4j 2.0.1

Hope will help.
