I'm working on a java project using spring-data and neo4j. I tried to write a cypher query using the predicate EXISTS but I have an error telling me "nested exception is Unknown function 'EXISTS'". I have the following pom.xml :

I understood that spring-data-neo4j in version 3.1.5.RELEASE embedded neo4j 2.1.2 in which function EXISTS does not exist. That's why I try to upgrade spring-data-neo4j version to 3.2.2 (which embed neo4j version 2.1.5 which contains the EXISTS predicate) but when I do that my application context can not be loaded :

Does anyone knows why class org.springframework.core.DefaultParameterNameDiscoverer is not found ? I tried to include many dependecies in my pom.xml but I think I'm not working in the good way. I would appreciate some helps to upgrade neo4j version to be able to use the EXISTS predicate in cypher.
Thanks a lot
You have a version conflict. Ideally you always use the most up to date version of the tools you use, unless you have good reasons not to do so.
To figure out the most current one either go to the projects home page or use the search function of the maven central repository:
http://search.maven.org/
Then you proceed by creating a dependency graph of the libraries you want to have in a specific version to figure out which versions of other libraries correspond nicely to it. From there you build your library / version graph.
If you need to know which library in which version contains a specific class, use the
fc:switch in the repository search like this:fc:org/springframework/core/DefaultParameterNameDiscoverer
It also helps having an IDE that can create the dependency graph visually (I use NetBeans and its dependency graph helps a lot).
In your specific case: use spring version 4.1.6 or newer and it should work.
If you run into unfixable conflicts you can download the source code of the tools and their dependencies and compile them on your own, fixing inconsistencies as they emerge. But this is a hard and work-heavy route and I would suggest it only if the normal procedures failed.
