Neo4j-OGM Spring Data

This is an official fork of Spring Data Neo4j 5.3.x. It keeps the legacy SDN5 version that wasn’t an OGM on its own right alive and uses Neo4j-OGM under the hood. Support is provided on a best effort basis.

Introduction

The fork has no additional functionality but is updated in two dimensions:

• It uses the latest Spring Data Commons (3.1.3 as of writing) and fixes breaking changes that came with it since SDN 5.3.x

• It uses the latest Neo4j-OGM 4.0.6 and thus is compatible with Neo4j 5.x

• However, Java 17 is required due to the requirements of the latest Neo4j-Java-Driver underpinning Neo4j-OGM 4

Note	We restarted the version numbering of this fork at 1.0.0 and removed the tags and branches from the fork. Of course, they will be preserved at spring-projects/spring-data-neo4j/releases, and we have no intention to change that.

If you just want to use Neo4j-OGM and SDN5 against Neo4j 4.x over Bolt you can still use the official 5.3.x release.

The coordinates of this SDN versions are:

org.neo4j:neo4j-ogm-spring-data:1.0.2

The package name has not been changed to avoid issues with existing setups that want to use this fork.

Spring Boot itself does not know about this version of SDN and thus won’t autoconfigure it. We offer a very plain Spring Boot starter mitigating this under the following coordinates:

Include in a Maven build

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.neo4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>neo4j-ogm-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.2</version>
</dependency>

Include in a Gradle build

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.neo4j:neo4j-ogm-spring-boot-starter:1.0.2'
}

It brings all necessary dependencies.
