Hi,

Accessing Neo4j-Spatial remotely is possible with the existing REST/Cypher
API's, but there is no GeoServer plugin for that. The only GeoServer plugin
is based on the embedded Java API. So I think you have a few options:

   - Use HA to have your app db mirror the on in GeoServer
   - Have your app run in the same JVM as GeoServer (depends on your
   architecture whether this is a bit hard, or very hard).
   - Write a GeoServer plugin yourself that accesses Neo4j via REST

This last option might become easier with future releases of Neo4j where we
will be re-writing and cleaning up the REST API and Cypher API for Spatial.
But no schedule is available yet.

Regards, Craig
