Caching with Redis

Spring Caching with Redis

Spring Data Redis project provide an CacheManager implementation for Redis.

Get Redis

Get a copy of Redis from official Redis website.

In most of linux distribution, you can install it from distribution repository directly.

Before you run you codes, make sure it is running.

Enable Caching

Add @EnableCaching(mode=AdviceMode.ASPECTJ) annotation on the configuration class if you are using Java based configuration.

@Configuration
...
@EnableCaching(mode=AdviceMode.ASPECTJ)
public class JpaConfig {...}

Then, configure a Redis specific CacheManager.

@Override
@Bean
public CacheManager cacheManager() {
 RedisCacheManager cacheManager = new RedisCacheManager(redisTemplate());
 return cacheManager;
}

@Bean
public RedisTemplate redisTemplate() {
 RedisTemplate redisTemplate = new RedisTemplate();
 redisTemplate.setConnectionFactory(jedisConnectionFactory());

 return redisTemplate;
}

@Bean
public JedisConnectionFactory jedisConnectionFactory() {
 // JedisPoolConfig poolConfig=new JedisPoolConfig();
 // poolConfig.set

 JedisConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new JedisConnectionFactory();
 connectionFactory.setHostName("192.168.1.103");
 connectionFactory.setUsePool(true);
 return connectionFactory;
}

@Override
@Bean
public KeyGenerator keyGenerator() {
 return new SimpleKeyGenerator();
}

Do not forget to add the spring-data-redis dependency in your Maven pom.xml file.

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-data-redis</artifactId>
</dependency>
