title: neo4j rest API not working
body: <p>having problems with the neo4j java-rest-binding API</p>
  
  <pre><code>git clone https://github.com/neo4j/java-rest-binding
  mvn clean package
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then got my JAR.  </p>
  
  <p>Tried this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import org.neo4j.rest.graphdb.RestAPI;
  import org.neo4j.rest.graphdb.RestAPIFacade;
  import org.neo4j.rest.graphdb.entity.RestNode;
  import org.neo4j.rest.graphdb.query.RestCypherQueryEngine;
  import org.neo4j.rest.graphdb.util.QueryResult;
  import static org.neo4j.helpers.collection.MapUtil.map;
  
  import java.util.Map;
  
  public class Connect {
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          System.out.println("starting test");
          RestAPI api = new RestAPIFacade("http://localhost:7474/");
          System.out.println("API created");
          final RestCypherQueryEngine engine = new RestCypherQueryEngine(api);
          System.out.println("engine created");
  
          QueryResult&lt;Map&lt;String,Object&gt;&gt; result = engine.query("start n=node({id}) return n", map("id",1));
  
          System.out.println("query created");
          System.out.println(result);
  
  
      for (Map&lt;String, Object&gt; row : result) {
          Object tagline = row.get("tagline");
          long id=((Number)row.get("id")).longValue();
          System.out.println("id is " + id);
          System.out.println(row.get("myRow"));
          }
     }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Added the neo4j rest and embedded libraries and got this error message.  (BTW I have checked and there is a node 1 and the server is running locally)</p>
  
  <p>starting test</p>
