withProperties

public Relationship withProperties(MapExpression<?> newProperties)

Description copied from interface: ExposesProperties

Creates a a copy of this property container with additional properties. Creates a property container without properties when no properties are passed to this method.

Specified by:

withProperties in interface ExposesProperties<Relationship>

Parameters:

newProperties - the new properties (can be null to remove exiting properties).

Returns:

The new property container.

withProperties

public Relationship withProperties(java.lang.Object... keysAndValues)

Specified by:

withProperties in interface ExposesProperties<Relationship>

Parameters:

keysAndValues - A list of key and values. Must be an even number, with alternating String and Expression.

Returns:

The new property container.

property

public Property property(java.lang.String name)

Description copied from interface: PropertyContainer

Creates a new Property associated with this property container. This property can be used as a lookup in other expressions. It does not add a value to the property.

Note: The property container does not track property creation and there is no possibility to enumerate all properties that have been created for this property container.

Specified by:

property in interface PropertyContainer

Parameters:

name - property name, must not be null or empty.

Returns:

a new Property associated with this Relationship.

getSymbolicName

                                        java.lang.String... types)

Description copied from interface: ExposesRelationships

Starts building an outgoing relationship to the other node.

Specified by:

relationshipTo in interface ExposesRelationships<RelationshipChain>

Parameters:

other - The other end of the outgoing relationship

types - The types to match

Returns:

An ongoing relationship definition, that can be used to specify the type

relationshipFrom
