Spring boot neo4j @NodeEntity with Integer property throwing error

Question

When I use data type as Integer/int for field rowStatusId, I am able to save node to neo4j database using .save() method but while retrieving the record using findByName(String name), system throwing error as below (error occurred at "LineItemStatus status = lineItemStatusRepository.findByName("New");" in service ). I am not receiving any error when I change the data type to Long.

Can't we use Integer? or do I need to include any other dependencies? Please help me.

Caused by: org.neo4j.ogm.exception.core.MappingException: Error mapping GraphModel

Caused by: org.springframework.core.convert.ConverterNotFoundException: No converter found capable of converting from type [java.lang.Long] to type [int]

Below is my code

import org.neo4j.ogm.annotation.GeneratedValue;
import org.neo4j.ogm.annotation.Id;
import org.neo4j.ogm.annotation.NodeEntity;

@NodeEntity
public class LineItemStatus {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private Long id;
    private String name;
    private String description;
    private int rowStatusId;

    public LineItemStatus(String name, String description, int rowStatusId) {
        this.name = name;
        this.description = description;
        this.rowStatusId = rowStatusId;
    }

    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getDescription() {
        return description;
    }

    public void setDescription(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    }

    public int getRowStatusId() {
        return rowStatusId;
    }

    public void setRowStatusId(int rowStatusId) {
        this.rowStatusId = rowStatusId;
    }
}

        lineItemStatusRepository.save(new LineItemStatus("Modified", "modified", 1));
        lineItemStatusRepository.save(new LineItemStatus("Deleted", "deleted", 1));

Drivers tend to store integers as longs. Here is a nicely detailed explanation of what is going on: https://michael-simons.github.io/neo4j-sdn-ogm-tips/understand_the_type_system.html .

To simplify things, you may want to change rowStatusId to be of type long .
