Java embedded graph in Neo4j community 4.1.1

[nico_pelissero]

Hi all ! I trying to visualize a java embedded graph in Neo4j community.

There is my code to generate the new.db I want to visualize:

	public static void main(final String[] args) throws IOException {

		hello.createDb();
		// hello.removeData();
		hello.shutDown();
	}

	void createDb() throws IOException {
		// tag::startDb[]
		managementService = new DatabaseManagementServiceBuilder(databaseDirectory).build();
		graphDb = managementService.database("neo4j");
		registerShutdownHook(managementService);
		
		try (Transaction tx = graphDb.beginTx()) {

			// Database operations go here
			firstNode = tx.createNode();
			firstNode.setProperty("message", "Hello, ");
			secondNode = tx.createNode();
			secondNode.setProperty("message", "World!");

			relationship = firstNode.createRelationshipTo(secondNode, RelTypes.KNOWS);
			relationship.setProperty("message", "brave Neo4j ");
			// end::addData[]

			greeting = ((String) firstNode.getProperty("message")) + ((String) relationship.getProperty("message"))
					+ ((String) secondNode.getProperty("message"));

			// tag::transaction[]
			tx.commit();
		}
		
	}

	void shutDown() {
		System.out.println();
		System.out.println("Shutting down database ...");
		// tag::shutdownServer[]
		managementService.shutdown();
		// end::shutdownServer[]
	}

	// tag::shutdownHook[]
	private static void registerShutdownHook(final DatabaseManagementService managementService) {
		// Registers a shutdown hook for the Neo4j instance so that it
		// shuts down nicely when the VM exits (even if you "Ctrl-C" the
		// running application).
		Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread() {
			@Override
			public void run() {
				managementService.shutdown();
			}
		});
	}
	// end::shutdownHook[]
}

After, I have changed the value of dbms.default_database to dbms.default_database=new.db in neo4j.conf.

When I start neo4j, the database is well implemented:

But when I run a simple query MATCH (n) return n there is no record in the database to show.

Then I successfully created some nodes from the neo4j browser. But it's impossible to read them with my Java code, the database looks empty.

There must be an error in my code but I am really stucked right now.
Thanks for your help.

Nicolas.

nico.pelissero:

		graphDb = managementService.database("neo4j");

It seems like you are creating the database named neo4j not "new.db"

[nico_pelissero]

Thanks for you answer.
I tried to change this name by "new.db" and "new" but I always have a "DatabaseNotFoundException".
The problem must come from here.

In the code example given by Neo4j https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j-documentation/blob/4.1/embedded-examples/src/main/java/org/neo4j/exam... the DEFAULT_DATABASE_NAME is set to "neo4j".
I double checked and "new.db" is created whereas I set graphDb = managementService.database("neo4j");
I have a DatabaseNotFoundException if not.
