How can I run java and neo4j to work using bolt protocol in eclipse

Question

I am using maven dependencies in Eclipse and trying to connect neo4j and java using bolt protocol. I am running application in MacOS. I am using Eclipse 3 and Java version 8 and jre 1.8. This is my pom.xml **

This is the method called in .java file

void createDatabase()
    {
        GraphDatabaseService dfs = new GraphDatabaseFactory().newEmbeddedDatabase(dbPath);
        System.out.println("Database created!!");   
        Config noSSL = Config.build().withEncryptionLevel(Config.EncryptionLevel.NONE).toConfig();

        try(Driver dri = GraphDatabase.driver("bolt://localhost:7687", AuthTokens.basic( "neo4j", "hello" ), noSSL))
        {
            System.out.println("Database connected");

            Session session = dri.session();
            session.run("CREATE(a:Persona{name:{name}, title:{title}})", parameters("name","Aruna","title","Bhakt"));
            System.out.println("\n\t1.CREATED"); 

            StatementResult result =session.run("MATCH(a:Persona) WHERE a.name = {name}" + 
                                                    "RETURN a.name AS name, a.title AS title",
                                                    parameters("name","Aruna"));
            System.out.println("\n\t2.Match"); 

            while(result.hasNext())
            {
                Record record = result.next();
                System.out.println(record.get("title").asString() + " " + record.get("name").asString());

            }
            System.out.println("\n\t3.Found Record"); 

            session.close();
            dri.close();
        }
    }

After running the application, I am getting all this errors

Kindly help me to figure all my errors.

Answer 1

Another process is locking, kill it

try

ps aux | grep neo4j

or

ps aux | grep java

read your exception's description

Caused by: org.neo4j.kernel.StoreLockException: Store and its lock file has been locked by another process: /Users/arundhatiwahane/Documents/Neo4j/default.graphdb/store_lock. Please ensure no other process is using this database, and that the directory is writable (required even for read-only access)

if killing the process did not solve you need to add write permission to directory

chmod -R 777 /Users/arundhatiwahane/Documents/Neo4j/
