Demo Installation of Peoplemap
Sasha
permanently on my VPS slice at http://peoplemap.404.com.au/people
The big challenge (for me) was getting it to run as a service.
Webrick, mongrel and glassfish weren't able to run as daemons with
JRuby, so I used Warbler to deploy it to Tomcat and then proxy that
through Apache. There are probably better/cleaner/neater/safer ways,
but this worked!!!
Feel free to have a play with the site - I'm still working out a few
config issues, and as usual there are plenty of unfinished features
and bugs. It should give you an idea of where things are headed with
the app, although I think the real benefits will come when I add in
user management to provide collaborative interaction around node and
edge data.
NOTE: This is a fairly limited VPS (256MB) with restricted bandwidth,
so please don't hammer it! I'll have to take it down if it gets too
much traffic.
You can grab the source for the app from http://github.com/sashaagafonoff/peoplemap/tree/master
If you've got any suggestions/comments, please let me know - being a
solo project it doesn't get a lot of valuable peer review.
If you're interested in this project, and are looking for ways to
contribute, please let me know. I've got some ideas about where I
could use some help:
- Getting a good unit test structure set up: I'm more of a BA than a
coder, so a lot of this config stuff is a challenge for me: I have
only developed a handful of fairly brittle Selenium tests since I
can't rely on ActiveRecord and fixtures etc because of the way
neo4j.rb works, and it doesn't make sense to do too much dev without
getting a solid test base in place.
- Suggestions/feedback from some experienced coders/architects on
refactoring opportunities in the existing code - I really doubt that
what I've done to date would be very efficient, and I know that a bit
of a glance over the code by some seasoned veterans would make a huge
difference.
- Ideas on how to discard the Flash visualisation component in favour
of a pure Javascript option (perhaps processing.js, JQuery, etc) so
that the UI is cleaner and easier to treat as a single app (also for
easier test automation).
- Implementing a bulk data loader - perhaps using the Batchinserter
from the neo4j guys at http://wiki.neo4j.org/content/Batch_Insert.
- Implementing a really good search capability into the system

I don't see any visualization though?
If you want to use the BatchInserter, I have some example code at
http://github.com/peterneubauer/neo4j/blob/master/examples/filetree/features/step_definitions/add_steps.rb,
look at the createBatchSubtree method. It is not pretty, and not
up-to-date with Andreas recent neo4j.rb changes, but you see the
principle. I am using the Java API directly, probably a proper
BatchInserter wrapper would be nicer.

rendering correctly), and Linux has problems displaying embedded
visualisations (for some reason edges and edge labels only appear in
fullscreen mode), but I haven't seen it not render at all (it just
appears on the View page for any given node). What's your config (if
on Linux, which Flash player - there are a few kicking about) so I can
add it to my tests?
Thanks for the link to Batchinserter - I will check it out as the next
thing to add - really useful feature to have...
Cheers, Sasha

Its also rather fast - are you caching page with Apache rewrite rules as I did ?
I used glassfish - it was extremly easy to get it working. I think
glassfish is the recommended container for JRuby applications.
I agree that it would be nice to have a pure Javascript option (HTML5
?) instead of flash.
Maybe part of that solution could be used in a generic graph viewer tool similar
to neoclipse but for the browser.
Happy New Year
Andreas

(http://flare.prefuse.org) to provide layout support. It powers the
tree, radial, circle, etc part of the visualisation. On top of this I
have built a custom library of interface components in Adobe Flash CS4
and exported them as a single SWC library for use in the component
(icons, menus, etc). The component itself is compiled using the free
FlashDevelop product, although in theory it should be possible (with
some effort) to do from either Flash or Flex/Flash Builder.
Thanks for the suggestion re: svgweb + graphviz, I'll take a look!
Cheers, Sasha
