Constructor Detail

### EmbeddedReadOnlyGraphDatabase

    public EmbeddedReadOnlyGraphDatabase(String storeDir)

  Creates an embedded `GraphDatabaseService` with a store located in `storeDir`. If the directory shouldn't exist or isn't a neo4j store an exception will be thrown.

  Parameters:
    `storeDir` - the store directory for the Neo4j store files

### EmbeddedReadOnlyGraphDatabase

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

  A non-standard way of creating an embedded `GraphDatabaseService` with a set of configuration parameters. Will most likely be removed in future releases.

  Creates an embedded `GraphDatabaseService` with a store located in `storeDir`. If the directory shouldn't exist or isn't a neo4j store an exception will be thrown.

  Parameters:
    `storeDir` - the store directory for the db files
    `params` - configuration parameters

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: `GraphDatabaseService`
  Creates a new node.

  Specified by:
    `createNode` in interface `GraphDatabaseService`
  Returns:
    the created node.

### getNodeById

    public Node getNodeById(long id)

  Description copied from interface: `GraphDatabaseService`
  Looks up a node by id.

  Specified by:
    `getNodeById` in interface `GraphDatabaseService`
  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: `GraphDatabaseService`
  Looks up a relationship by id.

  Specified by:
    `getRelationshipById` in interface `GraphDatabaseService`
  Parameters:
    `id` - the id of the relationship
  Returns:
    the relationship with id `id` if found

### getReferenceNode

    public Node getReferenceNode()

  Description copied from interface: `GraphDatabaseService`
  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 wiki.neo4j.org/content/Design_Guide.

  Specified by:
    `getReferenceNode` in interface `GraphDatabaseService`
  Returns:
    the reference node

### shutdown

    public void shutdown()

  Description copied from interface: `GraphDatabaseService`
  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 GraphDatabaseService should be discarded.

  Specified by:
    `shutdown` in interface `GraphDatabaseService`

### enableRemoteShell

    public boolean enableRemoteShell()

  Description copied from interface: `GraphDatabaseService`
  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 `GraphDatabaseService`
  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: `GraphDatabaseService`
  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.shell.ShellClient` from the Neo4j Shell project. Typically, the `neo4j-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 `GraphDatabaseService`
  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: `GraphDatabaseService`
  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 `GraphDatabaseService`
  Returns:
    all relationship types in the underlying store

### beginTx

    public Transaction beginTx()

  Description copied from interface: `GraphDatabaseService`
  Starts a new transaction and associates it with the current thread.

  Specified by:
    `beginTx` in interface `GraphDatabaseService`
  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: `GraphDatabaseService`
  Returns all nodes in the node space.

  Specified by:
    `getAllNodes` in interface `GraphDatabaseService`
  Returns:
    all nodes in the node space

### registerKernelEventHandler

    public KernelEventHandler registerKernelEventHandler(KernelEventHandler handler)

  Description copied from interface: `GraphDatabaseService`
  Registers `handler` as a handler for kernel events which are generated from different places in the lifecycle of the kernel. To guarantee proper behaviour the handler should be registered right after the graph database has been started. If the specified handler instance has already been registered this method will do nothing.

  Specified by:
    `registerKernelEventHandler` in interface `GraphDatabaseService`
  Parameters:
    `handler` - the handler to receive events about different states in the kernel lifecycle.
  Returns:
    the handler passed in as the argument.

### registerTransactionEventHandler

    public <T> TransactionEventHandler<T> registerTransactionEventHandler(TransactionEventHandler<T> handler)

  Description copied from interface: `GraphDatabaseService`
  Registers `handler` as a handler for transaction events which are generated from different places in the lifecycle of each transaction. To guarantee that the handler gets all events properly it shouldn't be registered when the application is running (i.e. in the middle of one or more transactions). If the specified handler instance has already been registered this method will do nothing.

  Specified by:
    `registerTransactionEventHandler` in interface `GraphDatabaseService`
  Type Parameters:
    `T` - the type of state object used in the handler, see more documentation about it at `TransactionEventHandler`.
  Parameters:
    `handler` - the handler to receive events about different states in transaction lifecycles.
  Returns:
    the handler passed in as the argument.

### unregisterKernelEventHandler

    public KernelEventHandler unregisterKernelEventHandler(KernelEventHandler handler)

  Description copied from interface: `GraphDatabaseService`
  Unregisters `handler` from the list of kernel event handlers. If `handler` hasn't been registered with `GraphDatabaseService.registerKernelEventHandler(KernelEventHandler)` prior to calling this method an `IllegalStateException` will be thrown. After a successful call to this method the `handler` will no longer receive any kernel events.

  Specified by:
    `unregisterKernelEventHandler` in interface `GraphDatabaseService`
  Parameters:
    `handler` - the handler to receive events about different states in the kernel lifecycle.
  Returns:
    the handler passed in as the argument.

### unregisterTransactionEventHandler

    public <T> TransactionEventHandler<T> unregisterTransactionEventHandler(TransactionEventHandler<T> handler)

  Description copied from interface: `GraphDatabaseService`
  Unregisters `handler` from the list of transaction event handlers. If `handler` hasn't been registered with `GraphDatabaseService.registerTransactionEventHandler(TransactionEventHandler)` prior to calling this method an `IllegalStateException` will be thrown. After a successful call to this method the `handler` will no longer receive any transaction events.

  Specified by:
    `unregisterTransactionEventHandler` in interface `GraphDatabaseService`
  Type Parameters:
    `T` - the type of state object used in the handler, see more documentation about it at `TransactionEventHandler`.
  Parameters:
    `handler` - the handler to receive events about different states in transaction lifecycles.
  Returns:
    the handler passed in as the argument.
