I've written a Quasi-mashup which loads points from google maps using a background thread in Spring to initially load points into neo4j, what I'm trying to evaluate with the goal of simplifying the architecture is the following:
1) Should I rejigger the tomcat service code to have a webservice call to add points which would be called through the steps you describe below from google or bing maps given that I already have service API calls that do traversals with pipes and shortest path calculations 2) Take the rexster and http approach to upload the points through some automated process from my maps and stick with the http approach when doing traversals through gremlin and shortest path calculations. Also I am trying to play with neo4j-spatial and trying to figure out how to leverage it moving forward That was a mouthful :) Sent from my iPhone On Mar 16, 2011, at 4:49 PM, Craig Taverner <cr...@amanzi.com> wrote: > Hi Saikat, > > There are a few places you can look for code samples.
