[hibernate-dev] [OGM] Transactions in Neo4j datastore

[Davide D'Alto]

Hi,
I'm working at the integration between OGM and Neo4j.

Neo4j is fully transactional and it requires to open a transaction
before the execution of any operation on the DB.
To integrate this mechanism with OGM I've created the class
Neo4jJtaPlatform.java[1] that extends AbstractJtaPlatform and it's
registered using the configuration parameter
hibernate.transaction.jta.platform
If I'm correct, while this solution is working, it requires the
application to manage transactions using the Neo4j transaction
manager. Are there alternatives to this approach?

Thanks,
Davide
