Getting the required dependencies
Getting the dependencies required by Spring Data Redis is rather easy. The only
dependency that is required is Spring Data Redis, and we can get it by adding the
following dependency declaration to the
pom.xml
file:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-data-redis</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
Configuring the Spring application
context
We will use the Java configuration for configuring the application context of
our application. The name of our application context configuration class is
ApplicationContext
, and its implementation is explained in the following points:
1. The
@Configuration
annotation is used to identify the class as an
application context configuration class.
2. The
@ComponentScan
annotation is used to configure the base package
of our controllers.
3. The
@EnableWebMvc
annotation is used to enable the Spring MVC.
4. The values of the configuration parameters are fetched from a property
file that is imported by using the
@PropertySource
annotation. The
Environment
interface is used to access the property values stored in this file.
5.
The
redisConnectionFactory()
method is used to configure the Redis
connection factory bean. The implementation of this method depends on the
used Redis connector.
