neo4j-tei-importer imports data from XML files using the TEI schema to a Neo4j database.
This project uses gradle as build system. Since the gradle wrapper in included, there is no need to download anything beforehand.
To build the project just type:
./gradlew shadowJar
Copy (or symlink) the resulting file ./build/libs/neo4j-tei-importer-0.1-SNAPSHOT-all.jar to Neo4j’s plugins folder.
Change configuration in $NEO4J/conf/neo4j-server.properties:
org.neo4j.server.thirdparty_jaxrs_classes=org.neo4j.extension.tei=/tei
After a restart using $NEO4J_HOME/bin/neo4j restart the extension is ready to use.
Using REST a XML TEI file can be imported by simple sending an HTTP PUT to REST endpoint http://host:7474/tei/import. E.g. via cURL:
curl [-u neo4j:<mypasswd>] -T src/test/resources/1667-09-23.xml http://localhost:7474/tei/import
Additionally it’s possible to omit the payload in the PUT request and specify the URL location of the document via url request parameter. Be aware to supply the url in urlencoded variant:
curl [-u neo4j:<mypasswd>] -X PUT http://localhost:7474/tei/import?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmyhost%2Fabc.xml
