Hi Paul, There is a wiki page at http://wiki.neo4j.org/content/Neo4j_Spatial_in_GeoServer
<http://wiki.neo4j.org/content/Neo4j_Spatial_in_GeoServer>This describes briefly how to setup GeoServer so that the Neo4j and Neo4j Spatial libraries are in the classpath and then how to expose layers from Neo4j in GeoServer. However, it assumes you used Neo4j Spatial features to create the layers in the database in the first place. This must be done with Java code (or in the case of the wiki page example, use the included test cases to create test layers). I suggest run through the case described in the wiki page, and then review the test code used to create the layers in neo4j and see if that answers your questions. But I can also say that the answer to the question on 'how do we define the nodes properties' is that it is 'up to you'. We provide an extensible mechanism so that you can use whatever graph structure you want to create spatial data and provide an adapter to expose that as geometries to the GIS. To make life easier we have a few built in adapters you can pick if you do not want to build your own. There is a WKB adapter that stores the geometries as WKB in a single property of a node, there is a lat/long one that only supports points on one node, and there is a simple sub-graph one that allows polygons in sub-graphs, and finally the most complex one we have is the OSM model that supports the entire open streetmap graph in a very similar structure to OSM itself, but exposed as multiple layers to the GIS.
