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.
