Display of dynamically created node property

[Samwillie]

Hello all,

I use neo4j 1.8.M02 in my java web application. I have the following
issue, and would appreciate any help...

An example that reflects my issue is described below for better
understanding.

Movie - ACTS_IN - Actor

where Movie is a node, ACTS_IN is a relationship type and Actor is a
node.

Apart from this, the ACTS_IN relationship type has a role property,
say ROLE.

Lets say I have 10 Movie nodes and each "Movie" node has a
relationship to 5 actor nodes, each having a "Role" relationship
property.

start n = node({nodeId}) match (n)<-[r:ACTS_IN]-(x) return x, r.role

would give me all actor nodes and the specific role that the actor
plays in the movie.

Now from the obtained Cypher Query Result, I want to add the obtained
role value for each actor as a property in the Actor node and then
return the Actor node (just for display purposes, which means this
action must not actually add a new property in the database). Is this
possible?

The display is XML and I serialize the node to XML later so I need an
element that also has the role property within the actor node.

Thanks,

[Samwillie]

Hi,

Answering my own question - I do not know if this is the most
efficient way, but in the cypher query, we could get each property
instead of a node and map the result to an object, This way we could
get the serialized object as output.

Thanks,

Thanks for letting us know. What does the query look like?

Hi Peter,

I used this query to get the required properties of a node and then
mapped it to a pojo which can then be serialized...

start n = node({nodeId}) match (n)<-[r:ACTS_IN]-(x) return x.name as
name, r.role as character, x.year as year

Thanks,

Ahh,
Cool thanks! I actually would like something that returns all properties of a node or relationship also...
