How can I get java and neo4j to work in eclipse

Question

I am using mint 17.2 and have neo4j 3.06 Comunity Edition it is running fine on localhost:7474.

I wish to program in Java 1.08, using Eclipse Mars 2 but I cannot get it to work.

I am using a maven project and have the following in my pom.xml

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

        <artifactId>neo4j-java-driver</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.3</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>

I have the following in my app.java file

package com.geekcap.informit.neo4j_sample_app;


import org.neo4j.driver.v1.*;

public class App 
{

    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
      Driver driver = GraphDatabase.driver("bolt://localhost:7474", AuthTokens.basic("neo4j", "neo4j"));
      Session session = driver.session();

      session.run("CREATE (a:Person {name:'Arthur', title:'King'})" );

      StatementResult result = 
          session.run("Match (a:Person) WHERE a.name = 'Arthur' RETURN a.name AS name, a.title AS title");
      while (result.hasNext()) {
        Record record = result.next();
        System.out.println(record.get("title").asString() + " " + 
            record.get("name").asString());
      }

      session.close();
      driver.close();
    }

I get the following error when I try to run it as a java application.

The 7474 port is the HTTP port. Since you're using the bolt:// protocol, you should connect to the 7687 port. Or actually remove the port since it's the default value:

Driver driver = GraphDatabase.driver("bolt://localhost", AuthTokens.basic("neo4j", "neo4j"));

Also make sure that the Bolt protocol is actually active on the Neo4j instance, by uncommenting in conf/neo4j.conf (remove the preceding #):

dbms.connector.bolt.address=0.0.0.0:7687

or at least, to limit to local connections:

dbms.connector.bolt.address=127.0.0.1:7687
