Let me preface this with I'm a total n00b when it comes to neo4j, so sorry if my question is naive. I'm currently working my way through the examples found on the wiki (and the mailing list) and I'm having fun, but what I'm still having a hard time figuring out is relationships; especially when it comes to the IMDB example.
In the "hello world" type of examples relationship objects returned from [snip] firstNodeInstance.createRelationshipTo(secondNodeInstance, MyRelationshipTypes.EXAMPLE) [/snip] seem to be ignored, in the since that no data other than the relationship type is associated with it. But introduce the binding of Role to RelTypes.ACTS_IN and I'm a little confused. We can index the objects bound to nodes making the properties associated with them easily query-able, but why do we bind objects to relationships if we cannot easily query them? I ask this because I cannot figure out, using the IMDB example, how do I return the Role object representing "Neo" if I don't know the actor or movie that the character/role was in. In IMDB example, if the quering of Roles were a requirement, is there a different way that the graph/ domain could be designed to allow for this?
