Cypher query in a @Query annotated method is not invoked?!

[hsherlock]

Hi,

As discussed in previous related thread (http://forum.springsource.org/showth...notated-method)
I have the following @NodeEntity annotated POJO. Its getRelationshipsByType() method always returns empty results despite the fact that there are actually relationships matching the query in the graph db.

@NodeEntity
public class POJO
{
....
private Iterable<POJO> relatedByType;

@Query(value="START n=node({self}) MATCH n-[rel]->relN WHERE type(rel)={relType} RETURN relN")
public Iterable<POJO> getRelationshipsByType(@Param("relType") String type)
{
return relatedByType;
}
...
}

It looks that the query is not executed at all as I tried putting an obviously invalid query like the following and method still returns empty result without any exceptions:

@Query(value="THIS IS AN INVALID QUERY!!! START n=node({self}) MATCH n-[rel]->relN WHERE type(rel)={relType} RETURN relN")

Even checked for annotation name clash - the annotation is of correct type org.springframework.data.neo4j.annotation.Query

What I am doing wrong?

Thank you in advance for any help!

hsherlock,

Might it be a Spring wiring issue?

Could you share a small test project that reproduces the issue?

Because you are right, this should work (i.e. fail), and does work for other users.
