Neo4j 2.2.3 server fails to start when database is created using Spring Data Neo4J 3.3.1

I have followed this guide when creating a Spring Data Neo4j application.

I have included:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-data-neo4j</artifactId>
    <version>3.3.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

In my pom.xml

When trying to start the server I get the following error:

"Starting Neo4j Server failed: Component 'org.neo4j.server.database.LifecycleManagingDatabase@' was successfully initialized, but failed to start."

The message log says:

"Error starting org.neo4j.kernel.EmbeddedGraphDatabase"

I have read that the Spring Data Neo4j and the Neo4j server versions might not be compatible with each other.

Question: How can I know which versions are compatible?

Did you shut down your Spring App before starting the Neo4j server? You can't access the store-files from two different processes. - Michael Hunger
Please share the full stacktrace. - Michael Hunger
Added the stacktrace - Andreas
And the Spring App does not run when starting the Neo4j server - Andreas

I did solve the problem by closing the stream as stated by Michael Hunger (misunderstood what was meant by shutting down the spring app).

I.e.

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("appContext.xml"); context.close();

There is currently not a central list that shows Spring Data Neo4j compatibility with Neo4j versions. That would be very helpful though, as when incompatible versions are used SDN tends to throw strange exceptions, e.g. Can't move to Neo4j 2.2.0 and Spring Data Neo4j 3.3.0.RELEASE
