Spring Boot redisTemplate autowiring failed

I tried to integrate spring boot + redis into my application.

Related settings in pom.xml is as below,

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

Application main is as below,

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableTransactionManagement
@ImportResource({"classpath*:applicationContext.xml"})
public class ExamsCenterApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(ExamsCenterApplication.class, args);
    }
}

Contents of applicationContext.xml is as below,

My service code is as below,

@Service
public class MetaInfo {

    private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(MetaInfo.class);

    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("redisTemplate")
    private RedisTemplate<String, Object> redisT;

    /*
     * only need basic information about this question, assign mode. not sure whether other info needed.
     */
    public QuesMeta getMetaTaskInfo(String quesid) {
        logger.debug("getMetaTaskInfo() hitted");
        QuesMeta qm = new QuesMeta("redistest", "auto");
        redisT.opsForValue().set("001", qm);

        if (redisT == null) {
            logger.debug("getMetaTaskInfo(), redisTemplate is not initialized.");
            return null;
        }
        redisT.opsForValue().set("redistest", "hello");
        logger.debug("getMetaTaskInfo(), stored data in redis");
        return null;
    }

Then run the program and got the following exception,

java.lang.NullPointerException: null
at com.ustudy.cache.MetaInfo.getMetaTaskInfo(MetaInfo.java:42) ~[classes/:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT]
at com.ustudy.exam.controller.MarkTaskController.getMarkTask(MarkTaskController.java:37) ~[classes/:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT]

at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) ~[na:1.8.0_151]

It seemed that following code went wrong.

@Autowired
private RedisTemplate<String, String> redisT;

redisT is null and not initialized as expected.

How should I do to fix this issue?

Thanks a lot.

回答1:

You are creating a RedisTemplate<String,Object> bean and trying to autowire it to RedisTemplate<String,String> field

If you want Redis value also to be serialized as String use StringRedisSerializer for RedisTemplate's valueSerializer property. Change your redistemplate bean as below:

<bean id="redisTemplate" class="org.springframework.data.redis.core.RedisTemplate" p:connection-factory-ref="jedisConnectionFactory">
 <property name="keySerializer" ref="stringSerializer" />
 <property name="valueSerializer" ref="stringSerializer" />
</bean>

OR even better create a bean of StringRedisTemplate, so you don't have to create StringRedisSerializer on your own.

<bean id="stringRedisTemplate" class="org.springframework.data.redis.core.StringRedisTemplate"
p:connection-factory-ref="jedisConnectionFactory"/>

Change @Autowired private RedisTemplate<String, String> redisT to @Autowired private StringRedisTemplate redisT

I really made a mistake in my controller code. My origin controller code is as below,

@RestController
@RequestMapping(value="/exam/")
public class MarkTaskController {

    private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(MarkTaskController.class);

    @Autowired
    private MarkTaskService stS;


    @RequestMapping(value = "/marktask/list/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public List<MarkTaskBrife> getMarkTask(HttpServletResponse resp) {
        logger.debug("getMarkTask(), start to retrieving all examination result.");

        new MetaInfo().getMetaTaskInfo(null);
        return null;

The code "new MetaInfo()" is not correct. It should also be autowired as below,

@Autowired
    private MetaInfo mi;

    @RequestMapping(value = "/marktask/list/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public List<MarkTaskBrife> getMarkTask(HttpServletResponse resp) {
        logger.debug("getMarkTask(), start to retrieving all examination result.");

        mi.getMetaTaskInfo(null);
        return null;

Then everything works well.

Thanks @Chacko a lot for help on this issue.
