So my current model of Person contains
@Relationship(type = PROVIDES_SUPPORT, direction = INCOMING)
private Map<Person, List<SupportRelationship>> supporters = new HashMap<>();
Those are the people that "support" the current Person (let's say Angel) by different type of ways. The SupportRelationship contains that type as a property, start date and an end date. The thing is the same Person can provide different types of Support to Angel, that's why it maps a Person to a List of Support.
Seems like I am not able to achieve that, because of the method createAssociation() inside of the class DefaultNeo4jPersistentProperty:
if (this.hasActualTypeAnnotation(RelationshipProperties.class)) {
obverseOwner = (Neo4jPersistentEntity)this.mappingContext.getPersistentEntity(this.getComponentType());
} else {
obverseOwner = (Neo4jPersistentEntity)this.mappingContext.getPersistentEntity(this.getAssociationTargetType());
}
It goes straight to the else statement, where this.getAssociationTargetType() is null. After that the constructor inside ClassTypeInformation:
public static <S> ClassTypeInformation<S> from(Class<S> type) {
Assert.notNull(type, "Type must not be null!");
return (ClassTypeInformation)CACHE.computeIfAbsent(type, ClassTypeInformation::new);
}
catches the null type and throws an Exception, resulting in a failed build.
Is there a better way to achieve what I want and am I missing something? Seems like the thing I'm trying to do is not possible at the current state, so is there a better way or a workaround to it?
Really appreciate the help.
