Spring Redis - Read configuration from application.properties file

Question

I have Spring Redis working using spring-data-redis with all default configuration likes localhost default port and so on.

Now I am trying to make the same configuration by configuring it in application.properties file. But I cannot figure out how should I create beans exactly that my property values are read.

Redis Configuration File

@EnableRedisHttpSession @Configuration public class SpringSessionRedisConfiguration {  @Bean JedisConnectionFactory connectionFactory() {     return new JedisConnectionFactory(); }  @Autowired @Bean RedisCacheManager redisCacheManager(final StringRedisTemplate stringRedisTemplate) {     return new RedisCacheManager(stringRedisTemplate); }  @Autowired @Bean StringRedisTemplate template(final RedisConnectionFactory connectionFactory) {     return new StringRedisTemplate(connectionFactory); } } 

Standard Parameters in application.properties

spring.redis.sentinel.master=themaster

spring.redis.sentinel.nodes=192.168.188.231:26379

spring.redis.password=12345

What I tried,

1. I can possibly use @PropertySource and then inject @Value and get the values. But I don't want to do that as those properties are not defined by me but are from Spring.
2. In this documentation Spring Redis Documentation, it only says that it can be configured using properties but doesn't show concrete example.
3. I also went through Spring Data Redis API classes, and found that RedisProperties should help me, but still cannot figure out how exactly to tell Spring to read from properties file.

You can use @PropertySource to read options from application.properties or other property file you want. Please look PropertySource usage example and working example of usage spring-redis-cache. Or look at this small sample:

@Configuration @PropertySource("application.properties") public class SpringSessionRedisConfiguration {      @Value("${redis.hostname}")     private String redisHostName;      @Value("${redis.port}")     private int redisPort;      @Bean     public static PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer    propertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer() {         return new PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer();     }      @Bean     JedisConnectionFactory jedisConnectionFactory() {         JedisConnectionFactory factory = new JedisConnectionFactory();         factory.setHostName(redisHostName);         factory.setPort(redisPort);         factory.setUsePool(true);         return factory;     }      @Bean     RedisTemplate<Object, Object> redisTemplate() {         RedisTemplate<Object, Object> redisTemplate = new RedisTemplate<Object, Object>();         redisTemplate.setConnectionFactory(jedisConnectionFactory());         return redisTemplate;     }      @Bean     RedisCacheManager cacheManager() {         RedisCacheManager redisCacheManager = new RedisCacheManager(redisTemplate());         return redisCacheManager;     } } 

In present time (december 2015) the spring.redis.sentinel options in application.properties has limited support of RedisSentinelConfiguration:

Please note that currently only Jedis and lettuce Lettuce support Redis Sentinel.
