Issue using Neo4j and MongoDB together in a Java Spring 5 application - spring-boot

Question

I'm having issues getting my Java Spring Boot application to work with MongoDB and Neo4j in the same application. It works fine for MongoDB reads/writes but fails on any read or write with Neo4j. Note: I'm unable to use the doc connector for my needs, so I'd like to get them to work in one application.
Error I receive:
"Class class com.henry.Neo4j.HenryNode is not a valid entity class.
Please check the entity mapping."
Pom.xml:

<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb</artifactId>

<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-neo4j</artifactId>
</dependency>
Application.java:
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableMongoRepositories("com.henry.MongoDB.repository")
#EnableNeo4jRepositories(basePackages = "com.henry.Neo4j.repository")
public class HenryApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SpringApplication.run(HenryApplication.class, args);
}
}
com.henry.Neo4j.repository:
public interface HenryNeo4JRepository extends Neo4jRepository<HenryNode, Long> {
}
com.henry.Neo4j:
#NodeEntity
public class HenryNode {
#Id #GeneratedValue private Long id;

}
com.henry.MongoDB.repository:
public interface HenryMongoRepository extends MongoRepository<HenryDocument, String> {
}
com.henry.MongoDB:
#Document
public class HenryDocument {
#Id public String id;
public String someString;
}
Logs when exception happens:

Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Answer 1

The Class class com.henry.Neo4j.HenryNode is not a valid entity class.-problem occurs because your package contains uppercase characters.
Although it is technical possible to use uppercases in package names, the Java spec says they should not be used. As a consequent of this the class path scanner used by Neo4j OGM does distinguish class and packages by this convention.
