Neo4j at SpringOne 2GX 2014

Neo4j's search engine for Van Gogh's artworks was showcased at the SpringOne 2GX conference in Dallas, where Neo4Art was presented as a live demo. The project used Spring Data Neo4j with a persistence tier and a presentation tier implemented using more classical Spring MVC and MapQuest technologies. A REST service was also developed to make search engine queries available, using Jersey Resources. At the conference, the developers wanted to highlight the power of Spring Boot in creating production-ready applications and demonstrate how to configure Spring Data Neo4j with Spring Boot instead of using XML files or @Configuration classes. Additionally, they took advantage of the Cloud Foundry team's presence by moving Neo4Art to their cloud.
