<constructor-arg index="0" value="http://localhost:7474/db/data" />
</bean>

Answer 1

As per the SpringRestGraphDatabase class, there are two more parameters which can be passed into Constructor which are username and password.
Here is how you should configure it.
<bean id="graphDatabaseService" class="org.springframework.data.neo4j.rest.SpringRestGraphDatabase">
<constructor-arg value="http://localhost:7474/db/data"/>
<constructor-arg name="user" value="neo4j"/>
<constructor-arg name="password" value="******"/>
</bean>

Answer 2

Ended using Jersey Client's HttpBasicAuthFilter
Your parameters should be something like:
public static final String DATABASE_ENDPOINT = "http://localhost:7474/db/data";
public static final String DATABASE_USERNAME = "neo4j";
public static final String DATABASE_PASSWORD = "3c0a0a6ea1sdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdf2a94d";
private String callRest(String query) {
final String cypherUrl = ENDPOINT + "/cypher";
Client c = Client.create();
c.addFilter(new HTTPBasicAuthFilter(USERNAME, PASSWORD));
WebResource resource = c.resource(cypherUrl);
String request = "{\"query\":\"" + query + "\"}";
ClientResponse response = resource.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.type(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).entity(request)
.post(ClientResponse.class);
String object = response.getEntity(String.class);
response.close();
return object;
}
Latest Jersey client can be found by adding this to your mvn pom if its not already in your dependency tree.
