Spring Data Neo4j dynamic properties and Maps as value - neo4j

Question

In my #RelationshipEntity I have defined the following dynamic properties:
#Properties(prefix = "property", allowCast = true)
private Map<Long, Object> properties;
Under the different Long keys I need to store Map<String, Object> object.
Everything works fine in case I store only the one Map<String, Object> object under the one Long key, for example on Neo4j level the following code:
Map<String, Object> valueProperties1 = new HashMap<>();
valueProperties1.put("active", true);
valueProperties1.put("selfEvaluation", 5);
valueProperties1.put("experience", "practical");
properties.put(1L, valueProperties1);
translates to the following Neo4j properties:
{
"property.1.active": true,
"property.1.selfEvaluation": 3,
"property.1.experience": "practical"
}
So far everything works fine.
But when I try to select this relationship entity, for example by the following Spring Data Neo4j repository method:
#Query("MATCH (d:Decision)-[drc:HAS_VALUE_ON]->(ch:Characteristic) WHERE d.id = {decisionId} AND ch.id = {characteristicId} RETURN d, ch, drc")
RelationshipValue findByDecisionOnCharacteristic(#Param("decisionId") Long decisionId, #Param("characteristicId") Long characteristicId);
it fails with the following exception:
org.springframework.dao.InvalidDataAccessApiUsageException: Error mapping GraphModel to instance of com.decisionwanted.domain.model.neo4j.decision.characteristic.value.RelationshipValue; nested exception is org.neo4j.ogm.exception.core.MappingException: Error mapping GraphModel to instance of com.decisionwanted.domain.model.neo4j.decision.characteristic.value.RelationshipValue

What am I doing wrong and how to fix it ?

Answer 1

The documentation mentions
Supported types for keys in the Map are String and Enum.
This is the same message that can be found in your logs:
Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Supported types for keys in the Map are String and Enum.
Still I am not sure why it is working in the first place. Is it possible that you did not load the entity back when saving it in the first case?
I do get the error even with a single long keyed entry.
