I'm having difficulties retrieving relationships when the relationship type is annotated with a @RelationshipType field.
The relationships look correct in Neoclipse, but I'm retrieving no results in my application.
The code that doesn't work is (simplified):
@NodeEntity
public abstract class Entity {
@RelatedToVia
private Collection<Relationship> relationships;
public Relationship relatedTo(Entity entity, String type) {
Relationship relationship = new Relationship(type, this, entity);
relationships.add(relationship);
return relationship;
}
...
}
and:
@RelationshipEntity
public class Relationship {
@RelationshipType
private String type;
...
}
The code that does work is:
@RelationshipEntity(type = "something")
public class Relationship {
...
}
However, this doesn't suit my use case (I have a bunch of different Relationship types between arbitrary combinations of Entity instances.
The full test code is below. Agency and Item are both subclasses of Entity.
// Create first entity
Agency arnz = agencyRepository.save(new Agency());
arnz.setCode("ARNZ");
agencyRepository.save(arnz);
// Create second entity
Item r123 = itemRepository.save(new Item());
r123.setCode("R123");
// Create parent/child relationship between entities
r123.relatedTo(arnz, EntityRelationshipType.PARENT);
itemRepository.save(r123);
// Retrieve entity from database
Entity entity = itemRepository.findByCode("R123");
// Verify that relationship is present
assertThat(entity.getRelationships().iterator().hasNext(), is(true));
The final line is where the test is failing. Any clues?

PS. I'm a rank amateur with Neo4j and just happened to find @RelationshipType, so I may well be doing something laughably wrong. I hope so!
