How to implement Redis Multi-Exec by using Spring-data-Redis

Question

All Spring Configuration is written properly. Non-Multi-Exec Redis operations work perfectly.

@Autowired
@Qualifier("stringRedisTemplate")
StringRedisTemplate template;

void test(){
  template.multi();
  template.boundValueOps("somevkey").increment(1);
  template.boundZSetOps("somezkey").add("zvalue", timestamp);
  template.exec();
}

After running above code through Junit Test, Exceptions are thrown.

I check redis server, the above two commands have been executed and the result is correct. So the problem comes at last line of the code (template.exec()). When underlying JedisClient try to get multibulk response from EXEC, it seems to throw NullPointerException

I use spring-data-redis 1.0.0.RELEASE Thanks for help.

Answer 1

The reason for the exception is probably that the Spring template implementation does not reuse the same connection for .multi() and .exec(). You can try to use execute() via a callback:

private RedisTemplate template = ...;

template.execute(

  new RedisCallback() {

    @Override
    public Object doInRedis(RedisConnection connection)
      throws DataAccessException {

      connection.multi();

      //do whatever you need, like deleting and repopulating some keys

      connection.expire(CHANNEL_KEY.getBytes(), EXPIRE_SECS);
      connection.exec();
      return null;
    }

  }

);

Answer 2

template.setEnableTransactionSupport(true);

maybe you can use this to enable transaction
