Enable Neo4J Browser GUI in Java with embedded Neo4J

Neo4j Graph Platform Browser

How to enable Neo4J browser when using embedded Neo4J with spring-boot? I have enabled the HTTP connector but the webpage returns empty response on http://localhost:7474/browser.

Here is the configuration -

DatabaseManagementService managementService = new DatabaseManagementServiceBuilder(databaseDirectory.getCanonicalFile())
                .setConfig(GraphDatabaseSettings.default_database, "db")
                .setConfig(HttpConnector.enabled, true)
                .setConfig(BoltConnector.enabled, true)
                .build();

Also I see that DatabaseManagementServiceBuilder is deprecated, what is the new alternative?

You should modify the configuration below.

DatabaseManagementService managementService = new DatabaseManagementServiceBuilder(databaseDirectory.getCanonicalFile())
        .setConfig(GraphDatabaseSettings.auth_enabled, true)
        // Bolt connector
        .setConfig(BoltConnector.enabled, true)
        .setConfig(BoltConnector.listen_address, new SocketAddress("localhost", 7687))
        // Http connector
        .setConfig(HttpConnector.enabled, true)
        .setConfig(HttpConnector.listen_address, new SocketAddress("localhost", 7474))
        .build();

In addition, the pom.xml file should introduce the following dependencies. For example:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.neo4j/neo4j -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.neo4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>neo4j</artifactId>
    <version>5.22.0</version>
</dependency>

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.neo4j.client/neo4j-browser -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.neo4j.client</groupId>
    <artifactId>neo4j-browser</artifactId>
    <version>5.21.0</version>
</dependency>

You can access http://localhost:7474/browser to enable the Neo4j Browser GUI in Java with embedded Neo4j.
