[neo4j] Searching @Indexed created index from console not working

[josephlust]

After attending the Neo4j meetup in Boston last month, reading MH's Neo4j book, and reading the Neo4j chapter of the O'Rielly Spring Data book, I spent the weekend migrating the user graph of my website to Neo4j. Everything works as the tutorials suggest, but the indexes don't seem to work.

Example:

@NodeEntity(useShortNames=true)
public class UserNode {
	@GraphId
	private Long id;
	
	@Indexed(unique=true)
	private int uId;
}

From the admin panel I can see these nodes and I can see the auto-generated UserNode index.

However, when I try to search it, example below, it does not work using the format found for Movie searches in MH's book.

START n=node:UserNode("uId:1") RETURN n;

Nothing returned.

If a wildcard is added, all users are returned, so they are indeed in the index.

START n=node:UserNode("uId:*") RETURN n;

Returns all users.

So it seems users are in the index, but not being indexed by the provided unique index.

Am I missing anything here? Thanks for any suggestions you may have as I have not seen many examples on how to write Cypher queries to the indexes generated by SDN.

Details:
SDN 2.2.0
Neo4j 1.8.1 (as referenced inside SDN 2.2.0)


Sincerely,

So, to poke this again, the Spring Data Neo4j example code does not appear to create a usable Neo4J index.

Can anyone provide clarification as to the proper setup needed to make this work beyond the annotations the book describes running on the embedded server? Thanks.
