Except that it communicates over HTTP with the Rexter server, and that the implementation on that server wraps the native version of Neo4J which hence has to run 'embedded' right? So I wouldn't be able to use Rexter with the Neo4J server. >> Any reason why one shouldn't want to use that in the first place? > > Well, if you are going down the Neo4j Server route, then best to use Neo4j > Server in its native form.

I was hoping to use Neo4J server natively, and at this stage other implementations don't matter much (but it's nice to avoid the lock-in). >> I looked at Rexster as well, but besides that fact that that didn't >> work out of the box for me (method not allowed methods, haven't looked >> into it very deeply), but as that uses Neo4J's files directly, it >> looks like it wouldn't be possible to use both that and Neo4J server. > > Hm.

I haven't looked to deeply into it, so it's probably something simple/ stupid. But I stopped the experiment once it became clear to me that I wouldn't be able to run Neo4J server and Rexster alongside each other on the same database. > I don't quite understand fully your use case so its hard to advise. Well, I like to run Neo4J server and I like Blueprints and I was looking for a way to have both :-) Cheers, Eelco _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
