How to autowire RedisTemplate<String,Object>

Question

I want to use RedisTemplate in spring boot. I can use StringRedisTemplate successfully, but I cant use RedisTemplate. here is the code.

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
public class RedisEntityTests {

    @Autowired
    private StringRedisTemplate stringRedisTemplate;

    @Autowired
    private RedisTemplate<String, RedisEntity> redisTemplate;

    // This test case can run successfully.
    @Test
    public void testString() {
        // save string
        stringRedisTemplate.opsForValue().set("aaa", "111");
        Assert.assertEquals("111", stringRedisTemplate.opsForValue().get("aaa"));
    }

    // This test case I got error.
    @Test
    public void testObject() throws Exception {
        // save object
        RedisEntity redisEntity = new RedisEntity("Tom", 20);
        redisTemplate.opsForValue().set(redisEntity.getName(), redisEntity);

        Assert.assertEquals(20, (redisTemplate.opsForValue().get("Tom")).getAge().longValue());
    }
}

Then, run the test method：testObject(), Here is the error report：

Answer 1

You haven't defined the Bean which you will like to use for injecting in RedisTemplate.You can resolve it creating a configuration file.

@Bean
    JedisConnectionFactory jedisConnectionFactory() {
        return new JedisConnectionFactory();
    }

    @Bean
    RedisTemplate< String, Object > redisTemplate() {
        final RedisTemplate< String, Object > template =  new RedisTemplate< String, Object >();
        template.setConnectionFactory( jedisConnectionFactory() );
        template.setKeySerializer( new StringRedisSerializer() );
        template.setHashValueSerializer( new GenericToStringSerializer< Object >( Object.class ) );
        template.setValueSerializer( new GenericToStringSerializer< Object >( Object.class ) );
        return template;
    }

Looks like there is no easy way of doing that. Your problem is similar to DRYing up a generic RedisTemplate in Spring 4

There is some trick with serialization Spring RedisTemplate : Serialise multiple Model classes into JSON.Need to use Multiple RedisTemplates?
