book: learning cypher

Cypher is the query language for Neo4j graph databases. In fact, in my thesis about user profiling, i use cypher and  i am plannig to write a post about cypher after publishing my system for evaluation..
http://www.neo4j.org/learn/cypher  provides good information about cypher.
Moreover, i am planning to review the book on http://bit.ly/QZ5Alw ..
i recommend to try graph databases and cypher if you are dealing with connected-data problems.. 

the error: "org.neo4j.graphdb.NotInTransactionException"

The error message is somehing like this:

2014-01-25 16:37:43 ERROR HPAggregateProfile:141 - GRAMY_ERR:

The solution is using transactions explicitly..
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11485090/org-neo4j-graphdb-notintransactionexception

@Autowired
private GraphDatabaseService graphDb;

@Transactional
public void addRelation() {
  Transaction tx = graphDb.beginTx();
  ...
  tx.success(); //or tx.failure();
  tx.finish();
}

the error:"Referenced file contains errors (http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-4.0.xsd)"

The error message is:

Referenced file contains errors (http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-4.0.xsd).

In summary, the error may be resolved by doing the following:
" It was caused by some cached files. After removing those items (Preferences -> General -> Network Connections -> Cache) everything worked as expected. "
However, in my condition it was not helpful :( Another cause is using different versions together as stated:
"This error may have appeared because you had a mix of 2.5 xsd and 3.0 xsd in your applicationContext.xml. "
When i removed the version info from every element in xsi:schemaLocation, the project compiled successfully..
