How to set up jdbc connection with neo4j?

I understand that while jdbc is usually used for SQL queries, since the SQL query is essentially just a string, JDBC is not going to know if it is an SQL query or a cypher query.

From what I can see, I just need to import the neo4j jdbc driver and use it to pass my cypher request to the neo4j database.

pom.xml

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.neo4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>neo4j-jdbc</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.4</version>
        <type>pom</type>
    </dependency>

      

        
        
        
      

    

Now I am trying something like this:

    this.dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource(this.DBURL,this.USERNAME, this.PASSWORD);


    this.dataSource.setDriverClassName("org.neo4j.jdbc.Driver");        
    this.jdbcTemplate  = new JdbcTemplate(this.dataSource); 

    String qq = "MATCH (n:Individual) RETURN n LIMIT 25;";      
    Map<String,Object> res = jdbcTemplate.queryForMap(qq); //I actually just want to return a JSON string, but this is the only example I can find for now

      

        
        
        
      

    

This code will give me:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.neo4j.jdbc.Driver
    at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1645)
    at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1491)
    at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
    at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:274)
    at org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource.setDriverClassName(DriverManagerDataSource.java:127)

      

        
        
        
      

    

What am I doing wrong here? What's the correct driver class name?

I have also tried

Class.forName("org.neo4j.jdbc.Driver");

      

        
        
        
      

    

and I get:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.neo4j.jdbc.Driver
    at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1645)
    at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1491)
