How To Connect To JanusGraph In Java with AnonymousTraversalSource

Question

Problem

Why am I unable-to-connect to JanusGraph-Server on localhost:8182?
Using Java-17, TinkerPop3 Gremlin, and Janusgraph:latest.

Reproduction

Steps

1. Download-and-Install Docker (Windows)
2. Create-and-Startup JanusGraph Docker-container docker run -it -p 8182:8182 janusgraph/janusgraph
3. Create-and-Run Java-Maven Project
4. Results
   1. Expected: No errors and that the rest of the code runs
   2. Actual: Runtime Error: IllegalStateException

Update

Thanks Marc! This did fix my issue!

Answer 1

The remote-objects.yaml for janusgraph-0.6.3 reads as follows (with a different version for the serializer):

    hosts: [localhost]
    port: 8182
    serializer: {
        className: org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.driver.ser.GryoMessageSerializerV3d0,
        config: {ioRegistries:[org.janusgraph.graphdb.tinkerpop.JanusGraphIoRegistry]}
    }

[Edited after comments] janusgraph-1.0.0.rc2 reads:

    hosts: [localhost]
    port: 8182
    serializer: {
        className: org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.driver.ser.GraphBinaryMessageSerializerV1, 
        config: { ioRegistries: [org.janusgraph.graphdb.tinkerpop.JanusGraphIoRegistry] }
    }

Your java project uses janusgraph-1.0.0.rc2 while the gremlin server in the Docker container uses janusgraph-0.6.3 (latest does not include release candidates). Generally, you cannot mix minor versions for gremlin-driver and gremlin server.
