Unable to get result from the Redis using Crud Repository in Spring Boot?

Question

I am developing Spring Boot + Redis example. I've taken a reference from link : https://www.baeldung.com/spring-data-redis-tutorial. In this example, I developed repository method Student findByNameAndGender(String name, Gender gender); and even the Student findByName(String name);, but I am not getting any result back on both cases.?

Any quick help? Redis query -

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> KEYS *
1) "Student"
2) "Student:bb4df14a-7f42-4fc3-b608-fc4b7d45109e"
3) "Student:69affaa4-e56c-49e3-9ef4-1cd7509d299b"
redis 127.0.0.1:6379>

Student.java

@Data
@AllArgsConstructor
@Builder
@NoArgsConstructor
@RedisHash("Student")
public class Student {
    public enum Gender {
        MALE, FEMALE
    }

    private String id;
    private String name;
    private Gender gender;
    private int grade;
}

StudentRepository.java

@Repository
public interface StudentRepository extends CrudRepository<Student, String>{
    Student findByNameAndGender(String name, Gender gender);
}

RedisConfig.java

@Configuration
@EnableRedisRepositories
public class RedisConfig {
    @Bean
    JedisConnectionFactory jedisConnectionFactory() {
        return new JedisConnectionFactory();
    }
    @Bean
    public RedisTemplate<String, Object> redisTemplate() {
        final RedisTemplate<String, Object> template = new RedisTemplate<String, Object>();
        template.setConnectionFactory(jedisConnectionFactory());
        template.setValueSerializer(new GenericToStringSerializer<Object>(Object.class));
        return template;
    }
}

SpringDataRedisEugenpApplication.java

@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringDataRedisEugenpApplication implements CommandLineRunner{

    @Autowired
    private StudentRepository repository;

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

    @Override
    public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
        repository.save(Student.builder().name("John").gender(Student.Gender.MALE).grade(1).build());
        repository.save(Student.builder().name("Michael").gender(Student.Gender.MALE).grade(2).build());

        Iterable<Student> students = repository.findAll();
        for (Student student : students) {
            System.out.println("=============================");
            System.out.println("Details ? "+student.toString());
        }

        Student s = repository.findByNameAndGender("John", Student.Gender.MALE);
        System.out.println("Student ="+s.toString());  //line-34
    }
}

Error -

Few Queries -

1) How to see actual data stored in the redis?

2) How we can control Id to be started from one ?

edis 127.0.0.1:6379> get Student:1
(error) ERR Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> get Student:2
(error) ERR Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value
redis 127.0.0.1:6379>

I am really struggling to see

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> mget Student:1
1) (nil)
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> mget Student:2
1) (nil)
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> mget Student
1) (nil)

Answer 1

I myself able to figure out answers to below questions.

You just need to put the @Index annotation at the field level. @Index annotions marks the property as for indexing which uses Redis {@literal SET} to keep track of for objects with matching values.

@Indexed
private String name;
