Using domain classes below within a sdn5 application, I'm able to create people and to store them in neo4j. Everything is ok from a DB point of view (nodes and relation are present).
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnore
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnoreProperties
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.ObjectIdGenerators
import org.neo4j.ogm.annotation.*
@NodeEntity(label = "Person")
data class Person(
@Id
@GeneratedValue
private var id: Long?,
@Index
private var email: String,
@Property var firstName: String,
@Property var lastName: String,
@Property var photo: String,
@Relationship(type = "KNOWS", direction = Relationship.OUTGOING)
@JsonIgnoreProperties("outgoing")
private var knows: MutableList<Person>
)
@RelationshipEntity(type = "KNOWS")
data class Knows(
@Id
@GeneratedValue
val id: Long?,
@StartNode
private var outgoing: Person,
@EndNode
private var incoming: Person
)
But when I try to get entities, everything works fine for NodeEntities but fails for RelationshipEntities with
java.lang.NullPointerException: null

If I remove explicit declaration of RelationshipEntity ... everything works. I've tested with java classes ... same problem.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Thanks to Gerrit Meier (see Github), when you define a RelationshipEntity don't forget to reference it from your model. In the sample above we need to write :
@NodeEntity(label = "Person")
data class Person(
@Id
@GeneratedValue
private var id: Long?,
@Index
private var email: String,
@Property var firstName: String,
@Property var lastName: String,
@Property var photo: String,
@Relationship(type = "KNOWS", direction = Relationship.OUTGOING)
@JsonIgnoreProperties("outgoing")
private var knows: MutableList<Knows>
Hope it will helps.
