John, One approach that would be possible is to wait (or to write a patch) for the server to support a read-only database. That way, you could start the server, pointing at the same data directory as your app uses, and get webadmin for free (plus, you'd get the REST API for free). The drawback would be that only read-operations would work - webadmin would not be able to modify any data.
If you need write support, webadmin will need the entire REST API, including the ability to discover where those APIs are by a HTTP GET request to the root of the server that serves webadmin. You might be able to add a dependency to the server component, bypass its normal startup, and instead inject your own database into it, along with configuration and other things normally provided by the happy events originating in org.neo4j.server.BootStrapper. You would then mount the servers jersey services somewhere in your web container, there are three packages of them that need to be mounted at different places: At / (the only url that is hard-coded) you need: org.neo4j.server.rest.discovery.* Since you are already serving web content from there, you could provide the behaviour of this in some other manner. Basically, a HTTP GET to /, with an Accept-header of "application/json" needs in response a JSON-object that explains where the data and the management APIs are mounted. Please refer to the discovery service and it's related response representation for how this should be formatted. The other two can then be mounted wherever you like, as long as you put the urls to them in the GET / response. They are as follows: Mounted at /db/data in server: org.neo4j.server.rest.web.* Mounted at /db/manage in server: org.neo4j.server.webadmin.rest.* When these are in place you need to serve the static webadmin stuff from somewhere, somewhere being anywhere with the same base url as the services you just mounted. These static files are available as part of the server component, in a JAR artifact with the classifier "static-web". /Jacob On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 8:33 AM, John Howard <johnyho...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Jacob. > > What we have currently is a web application which has embedded neo graph > and > deployed on an app server. > The embedded neo approach fits nicely in our application. > We are open to any development effort it may involve. > It would be highly helpful, if you can point to starting steps in getting > web admin in our set up. > > > > On Sun, Feb 6, 2011 at 8:12 AM, Jacob Hansson <ja...@voltvoodoo.com> > wrote: > > > The web admin client is a javascript file, some html, some css and some > > images.
