Spring data Neo4j @NodeEntiry and Roo @RooEntity conflict

Question

When i try to annotate a POJO with both @NodeEntity and @RooEntity i got following error on the *_Roo_Entity IDT:

can't override T org.springframework.data.neo4j.core.NodeBacked.persist() with void        com m.foo.lib.model.MyPOJOClass.persist() 
return types don't match    
MyPOJOClass_Roo_Entity.aj   
/foo/src/main/java/com/foo/lib/model    line 34

Is there any workaround I can use right now?

Answer 1

You should be able to tell Roo how the persist method is named. As it is all generated code it should honor your decision.

@RooEntity( persistMethod = "save")
@NodeEntity(partial=true)
public class Actor {
   String name;
} 

Spring Data Graph entities have a fixed persist method built in.

There might be other issues popping up, if you want to go for cross-store persistence you should perhaps have a look at the spring data graph docs.

If you don't want to use JPA you can just remove @RooEntity.
