Spring Data Neo4J 4.0.0: BeforeSaveEvent not firing?

Question

I\'m trying to capture the BeforeSaveEvent when setting up Neo4J in Spring, so that I can call a method beforeSave() on the class that is being saved. Unfortuna

Answer 1

These events are fired by Neo4jTemplate (see http://docs.spring.io/spring-data/neo4j/docs/4.0.0.M1/reference/html/#_data_manipulation_events_formerly_lifecycle_events), so that's what you'll have to use to trigger the save.

In your configuration NitroNeo4jConfiguration include

@Bean
public Neo4jOperations getNeo4jTemplate() throws Exception {
    return new Neo4jTemplate(getSession());
}

and in your application,

@Autowired
private Neo4jOperations neo4jTemplate;

which is then used to save

neo4jTemplate.save(person);
