Eelco, while REST is not a very performant way to access any low level API directly, there is a Java Wrapper for the Neo4j API over REST from Michael Hunger https://github.com/jexp/neo4j-java-rest-binding that does the Neo4j API over REST.
This could be a drop-in replacement for the embedded Neo4j implementation in Blueprints, but I haven't check that out. Would be great if you wanna take a look? Also, in Neo4j 1.5 we are going to add a binary, much more efficient protocol to talk to Neo4j, which will make this scenario much easier to implement.
