Spring Redis Delete does not delete key

Question

I am trying to delete a redis key but for some reason it is not delete but also not throwing an exception. Here is my code to delete:

import com.example.service.CustomerService;
import com.example.model.Customer;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.data.redis.core.RedisTemplate;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import java.math.BigInteger;
import java.util.*;

@Service
public class RedisCustomerService implements CustomerService {

    @Autowired
    private RedisTemplate<String, Object> redisTemplate; 

    private String uniqueIdKey = "customerId";

    private BigInteger uniqueId() {
        long uniqueId = this.redisTemplate.opsForValue().increment(uniqueIdKey, 1);
        return BigInteger.valueOf(uniqueId);
    }

    private String lastNameKey(BigInteger id) {
        return "customer:ln:" + id;
    }

    private String firstNameKey(BigInteger id) {
        return "customer:fn:" + id;
    }

    @Override
    public void deleteCustomer(BigInteger id) {
        redisTemplate.opsForValue().getOperations().delete(String.valueOf(id));
    }
}

Answer 1

ValueOperations does NOT have delete method. So the following won't work:

redisTemplate.opsForValue().delete(key);

Try

redisTemplate.delete(key);
