So how to modeling this in spring data neo4j?

What I tried is make 3 relationship types: EMPLOY, INVEST, LEGAL, each relationship type with the Company as the StartNode and the person as the EndNode, then in company and person, keep these relationships with the "UNDIRECTED" direction, just same as the diagram present, but always get the stackoverflow error when saving and searching.

Solution

  • Yes, now here is the solution in github, all the classes are house in sample.spring.data.neo4j package, and the the corresponding test sample.spring.data.neo4j.repositories.CompanyRepositoryTest

    The big issue at the beginning is it always throws the StackOverFlow exception which is due the the lombok annotation, after remove all the lombok annotations and use the plain getter/setter, everything goes well.
