InteractiveGraph-neo4j serves GSON files(see https://github.com/grapheco/InteractiveGraph#GSON), Neo4j databases, RDF stores as InteractiveGraph providers, it generates InteractiveGraphs for remote frontend InteractiveGraph clients on demand. Known InteractiveGraph clients includes GraphNavigator, GraphBrowser, and RelFinder (see https://github.com/grapheco/InteractiveGraph).

The interaction architecture looks like:

1. download latest graphserver.war and igraph.war file from release page: https://github.com/grapheco/InteractiveGraph-neo4j/releases and https://github.com/grapheco/InteractiveGraph/releases

graphserver.war: graph server app igraph.war: interactive graph clients, including GraphNavigator, GraphBrowser, and RelFinder.

1. move war files into your webapps folder of Web server (Tomcat, for example)

2. start Web server, we assume the web app url is http://yourhost:8080

3. explore InteractiveGraph/GraphBrowser in Web browser:

http://yourhost:8080/igraph/example12.html

1. If you are using a remote graph app, GraphBrowser, for example. To access IGP servers, you may click the load remote IGP server tool, in the dialog input connector url like: http://yourhost:8080/graphserver/connector-gson, InteractiveGraph/GraphBrowser will load and visualize graph from graphserver.

1. To access IGP servers programmly, you may use app.connect() method. Here is an example:

    var app = new igraph.GraphNavigator(document.getElementById('graphArea'));
    app.connect("http://yourhost:8080/graphserver/connector-neodb");

NOTE: graphserver provides 3 servlets: /connector-gson, /connector-bolt, /connector-neodb. Because the /connector-bolt depends on /connector-neodb, so note that /connector-neodb should be accessed before accessing /connector-bolt.

InterativeGraphServer is able to connect several kinds of backend data sources: neo4j-gson, neo4j-db, neo4j-bolt.

ConnectorServlets should be defined in web.xml. Each servlet requires a configFile parameter:

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>connector3</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.interactivegraph.server.ConnectorServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>configFile</param-name>
            <param-value>WEB-INF/conf3.properties</param-value>
        </init-param>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>connector3</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/connector-gson</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

Here, a connector1 is defined with a configuration file conf3.properties, it responds to clients when requested as http://yourhost/graphserver/connector-gson.

example web.xml

Configuration files are written in properties file format, there are some common properties and other specific properties according to different backend kinds.
