Caused by: java.lang.BootstrapMethodError: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: redis/clients/jedis/Tuple - Redis Spring Boot

Question

I am using Spring Data Redis example. In this example, simply trying to connect to the redis DB. Runnning the main method, I am getting below error.

Spring Boot version used is v 2.0.3.RELEASE & Redis version is 2.4.5.

Code reference taken from : http://javasampleapproach.com/spring-framework/spring-data/spring-data-redis-example-spring-boot-redis-example and https://docs.spring.io/spring-session/docs/current/reference/html5/guides/boot-redis.html. Can anybody please suggest what is wrong here ?

Answer 1

Your example is referencing boot 1.5.X which uses Jedis, by default lettuce is used in Boot 2.0 if you want to use Jedis you need to manually add the dependency. Additionally you can see that Jedis isn't on your classpath and lettuce is.

<dependency>
    <groupId>redis.clients</groupId>
    <artifactId>jedis</artifactId>
</dependency>

You might need to specify the dependency version. Alternatively you could just configure what you are attempting via lettuce.
