How to use Using enum RelationshipType with Neo4j?

I would like to define some type of relationship between some typed node. When I look at the example, they always use String to define the type of the relationship, as in this example . Using:

@RelationshipEntity(type = "ACTED_IN")

I tried using org.neo4j.graphdb.RelationshipType, but RelationshipEntity.type expects a string.

public enum PersonMovieRelationshipType implements RelationshipType {
    ACTED_IN("ACTED_IN"),
    AUTHOR("AUTHOR");

    private String type;

    PersonMovieRelationshipType( String type ){
        this.type = type;
    }

    public String getType() {
        return type;
    }
}

The RelationshipType enum variable provides a "name ()" method, what should I do with?

I don't like the free text way, is it possible to use an enum?

Any complete example would be appreciated.

You can't because of the work of annotations. What you could do is declare the names of the relations as constants.

interface RelationNames{
  String ACTED_IN = "ACTED_IN";
}


And then use these constants in your code

@RelationshipEntity(type = RelationNames.ACTED_IN)
