I try to use the `Micronaut Neo4j` integration, which provides a `org.neo4j.driver.v1.Driver` bean, in combination with the `Neo4j-OGM` native property types.

Currently I use the following `sessionFactory` bean

```auto
@Requires(classes = [SessionFactory::class])
@Factory
class OgmFactory(
    private val driver: Driver
) {
    @Bean(preDestroy = "close")
    fun sessionFactory(): SessionFactory {
        val boltDriver = BoltDriver(driver) // how to set useNativeTypes here?
        return SessionFactory(boltDriver, "my.domain")
    }
}

```

Does anybody know how to opt-in to use native types with reusing existing Neo4j driver instance?

It works when using the `Configuration.Builder().useNativeTypes()...`, but I want to avoid that the driver get's created multiple times.

Thank you
