Neo4j is not implementing storing and traversing memory only structures. So it would be really advisable to do that in your domain layer only. I'll look into the elements returning null. I thought I already solved that some time ago. Which version of SDG are you using? Cheers Michael Am 30.06

Any suggestions on this please ? It is really acting as a blocker for me. I have tried multiple alternatives, but I come up with one issue or the other. On Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 8:51 PM, V wrote: > I am confused, elements is defined as > > @RelatedTo(type = "ELEMENT", elementClass = Element.clas

I am confused, elements is defined as @RelatedTo(type = "ELEMENT", elementClass = Element.class, direction = OUTGOING) private Set elements; if I call getElements() without persisting the node first, will it not return null ? It is throwing null pointer exception. When I persist the node be

getElements() returns a set of your elements. If you do an add(element) on those then you build up an in-memory structure. So if you use just the getters and setters of your instances you can navigate this structure, but you can't use any of the graph operations supplied by neo4j (remember it i

Michael - In my quest for a cleaner solution , I am coming back to your original reply What do you mean by *"Right now this works only with the getElements().add method."* Please elaborate . Thanks for your help . On Sun, Jun 19, 2011 at 2:34 AM, Michael Hunger < michael.hun...@neotechnology.c

"transient" index only meaning an index that you add the nodes to that will be removed after your operation finished. Sorry to not be of more help here. Cheers Michael Am 20.06.2011 um 15:23 schrieb V: > Thanks Michael. I think this definitely would be an important layer to worth > including

Thanks Michael. I think this definitely would be an important layer to worth including soon. Meanwhile can you elaborate what you meant by transient index ? I would like to keep a very simplified design for transient graphs and not persist any nodes at all if possible. On Sun, Jun 19, 2011 at 2

Right now this works only with the getElements().add method. But then you don't get all the graph methods (traversals and such). We discussed some time ago writing a virtual graph layer on top of the real nodes and relationships for SDG. (That should be then used to have a simpler handling of at

I created a graph model with 2 classes Node and Element as follows: public class Node { @RelatedTo(type = "ELEMENT", elementClass = Element.class, direction = OUTGOING) private Set Element; public void addElement(Element e) { relateTo(e, Relationships.ELEMENT.toString()); }
