[Frames] Accessing ID

[Harald Wellmann]

I'm trying to access the ID of a framed Neo4j vertex like this

public interface User extends VertexFrame {

@Property("id")
Long getId();
}

but I only get null.

It seems I need to call user.asVertex().getId().

Seeing that Neo4jElement already has some special handling for the "id"
property in setProperty(), wouldn't it make sense to treat "id" as a
read-only property and return the underlying node id from the invocation
handler?

Cheers,
Harald

Hi Harald,

"id" is a reserved property in Blueprints. If you want to get the underlying graph id, then use:

user.asVertex().getId()

Would you like me to add getId() as a method to VertexFrame and EdgeFrame?

Yes, that would be handy. Saves a level of delegation in the method
call. And when there's no obvious domain-level ID, there's no need to
invent one...

Thanks,

I like this getId() idea as well.

Hello,

a year later, I have the same Problem like Harald. I want to access the Id from a framed Vertex/Edge.
Was the idea to add a "getId()" Method rejected? I think it would make the work with a FramedGraph and a KeyIndexableGraph easier.
