Connect info for Spring Boot apps is inadequate
under review
Tony Myles
As I was just getting started with Aura trying to get my Spring Boot app up and running, I discovered that the Connect - Spring Boot page could use some more info such as the versions of Spring Boot Data & Neo4j OGM that work properly.
In my case, my app was throwing a
ClassNotFoundException: org.neo4j.driver.util.BookmarkUtil
when I attempted to access the database. I was stumped until I discovered this page: https://medium.com/neo4j/using-neo4j-aura-from-java-and-spring-boot-f1c1684894f8It turned out my version of Neo4j OGM was slightly out of date (by just a couple of patch versions!). I upgraded to the versions mentioned in the article and the problem went away.
Others might be saved some trouble if the Connect - Spring Boot page mentioned the compatible Spring Data & Neo4j OGM versions, or perhaps included a link to the above mentioned article.

Tony,
The compatibility matrix for reference is https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j-ogm/wiki/Versions
For general advice on starting with Aura this is a recommended read: https://medium.com/neo4j/try-and-then-retry-there-can-be-failure-30bf336383da

Pierre Martignon: Thanks for pointing out this info! That Medium article is great. I hadn't noticed it before.
