Spring boot app, neo4j LoadOneDelegate null - Runs spring boot + IDE not jar - spring

Question

I'm building an application that uses Spring boot and neo4j ogm.
When i run it from spring tool suite or from gradle boot run, it works fine. However, after packaging it into a jar I get this error.
java.lang.NullPointerException: null

I suspect this is to do with the ogm configuration as the packages are used to define the meta data in ogm, which seems to be null:
package comds;
import org.neo4j.ogm.config.Configuration;
import org.neo4j.ogm.session.Session;
import org.neo4j.ogm.session.SessionFactory;
public class Neo4jSessionFactory {
private final static String [] packages = {"comds.domain"};
private final static SessionFactory sessionFactory = new SessionFactory(getConfiguration(),packages);
private static Neo4jSessionFactory factory = new Neo4jSessionFactory();
public static Neo4jSessionFactory getInstance() {
return factory;
}
private Neo4jSessionFactory() {
}
private static Configuration getConfiguration() {
Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
configuration.driverConfiguration()
.setDriverClassName("org.neo4j.ogm.drivers.http.driver.HttpDriver")
.setURI("http://neo4j:test#localhost:7474");
return configuration;
}
public Session getNeo4jSession() {
return sessionFactory.openSession();
}
}
For some reason the COMDS user class is not being read:
#Service("userService")
public class UserServiceImpl extends GenericService<COMDSUser> implements UserService{
#Override
public Class<COMDSUser> getEntityType() {
return COMDSUser.class;
}
#Override
public COMDSUser find(Long id) {
COMDSUser user = super.find(id);
if(user != null){
return applyPrivacySettings(user);
}
return null;
}
//... more stuff
public class COMDSUser extends COMDSEntity{
public enum privacySettings{
SHOW_ALL, HIDE_PERSONAL_INFO,HIDE_ALL;
}
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
/// .. more stuff
package comds.domain;
import org.neo4j.ogm.annotation.GraphId;
public abstract class COMDSEntity {
#GraphId
private Long id;
public Long getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(Long id) {
this.id = id;
}
#Override
public boolean equals(Object o) {
if (this == o) return true;
if (o == null || id == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;
COMDSEntity entity = (COMDSEntity) o;
if (!id.equals(entity.id)) return false;
return true;
}
#Override
public int hashCode() {
return (id == null) ? -1 : id.hashCode();
}
}
And gradle build:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.3.6.RELEASE")
}
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'

apply plugin: 'spring-boot'

maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/libs-release" }
maven{ url "https://mvnrepository.com/artifact"}
maven { url 'http://oss.jfrog.org/artifactory/oss-snapshot-local/' }
}

compile fileTree(dir: 'resources', include: ['*.jar'])

}
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = '2.3'
}
Note Im a using a custom spring social linked in class, that is being imported in the last compile
Your help would be greatly appreciated :)

Found a work around solution. Instead of exporting to a war, I exported just a jar. The issue was that exporting the file as a war changed the file structure meaning the ogm mapping couldn't be done properly. My new gradle build looks like this:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.3.6.RELEASE")
}
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'
jar {
baseName = 'name'
version = '0.1.0'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/libs-release" }
maven{ url "https://mvnrepository.com/artifact"}
maven { url 'http://oss.jfrog.org/artifactory/oss-snapshot-local/'}
maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots'}
}
