​Hi Michael

Thanks for the advice. Can you say a little more about the idea of using 
Cypher?  I've never done it, so I'm not quite sure how to get started with it.


I guess I could also just use the findNodes(newLabel) call and filter out what 
I want myself.  That doesn't seem great though.


Thanks again

Howard

I think while it is not guaranteed to work in a secondary transaction, the find 
by label uses a different infrastructure (label scan store) than the index 
lookup, which has to provide snapshots to consistently read from.

I either recommend to iterate and extract the data within one TX and return 
DTOs from your DAO directly

Or use Cypher, return scalar values and project them into the DTO

Thanks for the reply.

What's funny is I have an identical piece of code that uses

Iterator<Node> neo4jNodeList = theDB.findNodes(newLabel);

instead of

Iterator<Node> neo4jNodeList = theDB.findNodes(newLabel, key, value);

and it works fine.  Everything else is the same and the getNext code is the 
same call. So maybe there is something wrong with the second call to findNodes.

Very strange ...

Hi all
Hi all

Thanks in advance for the attention and any suggestions. I hope my explanation 
of the issue is clear enough.

As noted in the subject line, I'm upgrading my java based project to Version 3 
of the embedded API.  Unfortunately, I'm getting the following error:

SEVERE: exception in hasNext: The statement has been closed.

Code is below, but here's the explanation. In order to provide a layer of 
isolation in between my application code and the database code (in this case 
Neo4j), I'm using the DAO pattern. I'm assigning the ResourceIterator I'm 
getting back from the findNodes call to a variable in the user level iterator 
I'm defining. According to this page 
(https://neo4j.com/docs/java-reference/current/javadocs/org/neo4j/graphdb/Transaction.html)

"All 
ResourceIterables<https://neo4j.com/docs/java-reference/current/javadocs/org/neo4j/graphdb/ResourceIterable.html>
 that where returned from operations executed inside a transaction will be 
automatically closed when the transaction is committed or rolled back. Note 
however, that the 
ResourceIterator<https://neo4j.com/docs/java-reference/current/javadocs/org/neo4j/graphdb/ResourceIterator.html>
 should be 
closed<https://neo4j.com/docs/java-reference/current/javadocs/org/neo4j/graphdb/ResourceIterator.html#close-->
 as soon as possible if you don't intend to exhaust the iterator"

That's clear enough and seems to explain why I am getting the exception.  But 
there has to be some way to return an iterator for later use. At least I hope 
so.  The other choice that comes to mind would be to store all of the nodes in 
user memory so my user level interface can iterate through them, and that would 
be a bit problematic. I'll note that this code (which used to use the 
GlobalGraphOperations class) worked in Neo4j 2. but maybe that was a bug in 
Neo4j 2? Note that I have tried not closing the transaction (or even using a 
transaction at all).

Any ideas?


Here's the actual source of the problem: It's in my definition of an iterator 
for the user visible structure representing nodes.

      public boolean hasNext() {
           // Wrap the neo4j iterator
           boolean hasN = false;
           GraphDatabaseService theDB = Neo4jDAOFactory.getTheNetworkDB();
           Transaction tx = theDB.beginTx();
           try {
              hasN = nodeIterator.hasNext();
           } catch (Exception e) {
               // should send this back using the message logs eventually
               this.logger.log (Level.SEVERE, "exception in hasNext: " + 
e.getMessage(), e);
           } finally {
               tx.close();
           }
           return hasN;
       }

But it doesn't make sense without also looking at:

    public Iterator<NetworkNodeTransferObject>
        getNetworkNodes(String nameSpace, String key, Object value){

        Neo4jNetworkNodeDAOIterator theIterator = null;
        GraphDatabaseService theDB = Neo4jDAOFactory.getTheNetworkDB();
        Transaction tx = theDB.beginTx();
        try {

            Label newLabel = Label.label(nameSpace);
            Iterator<Node> neo4jNodeList = theDB.findNodes(newLabel, key, 
value);
            theIterator = new Neo4jNetworkNodeDAOIterator();
            theIterator.nodeIterator = neo4jNodeList;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // should send this back using the message logs eventually
            this.logger.log (Level.SEVERE, "exception in getNetworkNodes: " + 
e.getMessage(), e);
        } finally {
            tx.close();
        }

        return theIterator;
    }

Thanks
Howard
