I am trying to use jedis with spring framework (container: tomcat 7 on ubuntu running on windows VM) but keep getting the exception copied below (this setup works for me on another computer). Redis is running on the server (process is up and listening on 0.0.0.0:6379). This host/port is specified in my properties file. I can add more information on the trace but it appears the error is due to the redis connection (jedis v 2.1.0, redis: 2.6.14 )

   Error creating bean with name 'jedisPool' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]

pom.xml file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>redis.clients</groupId>
    <artifactId>jedis</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.0</version>
</dependency>

applicationContext.xml file:

<bean id="jedisPool" class="redis.clients.jedis.JedisPool">
    <constructor-arg index="0">
        <bean factory-bean="config" factory-method="getConfig" />
    </constructor-arg>
    <constructor-arg index="1" value="${redis.host}" />
    <constructor-arg index="2" value="${redis.port}" />
    <constructor-arg index="3" value="${redis.timeout:5000}" />
</bean>

Any suggestions to troubleshoot this would be quite welcome. I will check if its related to the jedis version as well.

Issue is most likely with my local setup - will update!

You can use Spring data Redis for it. Below are the steps

1) make your maven pom.xml with following jars

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
        <version>${spring.version}</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
        <version>${spring.version}</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>cglib</groupId>
        <artifactId>cglib</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.2</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
           <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
           <artifactId>spring-data-redis</artifactId>
           <version>1.3.0.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>

            <dependency>
               <groupId>redis.clients</groupId>
               <artifactId>jedis</artifactId>
               <version>2.4.1</version>
            </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
        <artifactId>commons-pool2</artifactId>
        <version>2.0</version>
    </dependency>

2) make your configuration xml as follows

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
        xmlns:c="http://www.springframework.org/schema/c"
        xmlns:cache="http://www.springframework.org/schema/cache"
    xsi:schemaLocation="
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans     
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context 
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd

        http://www.springframework.org/schema/cache 
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/cache/spring-cache.xsd">



    <bean id="jeidsConnectionFactory"
      class="org.springframework.data.redis.connection.jedis.JedisConnectionFactory"
      p:host-name="localhost" p:port="6379" p:password="" />

     <bean id="redisTemplate" class="org.springframework.data.redis.core.RedisTemplate"
      p:connection-factory-ref="jeidsConnectionFactory" />

     <bean id="imageRepository" class="com.self.common.api.poc.ImageRepository">
      <property name="redisTemplate" ref="redisTemplate"/>
     </bean>

</beans>

3) Make your classes as follows

  imageRepository.put(image1);
  System.out.println(" Step 1 output : " + imageRepository.getObjects());

     } catch (IOException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
     }
     return imageString;
 }
}

package com.self.common.api.poc;

public class Image implements DomainObject {

I don't know, but using spring data Redis seems ore complex. Jedis itself is pretty straight forward and clean to implement

It doesn't look like a connection problem but a Spring configuration one. Perhaps the config parameter is wrong (e.g. wrong type).

In any case an option would be to rely on spring-data-redis, in order to be more client implementation agnostic. It'd be fairly simple to setup.

thank you - it was a spring config issue - I did not get a chance to accept in the past.
@alihaider - Can you tell me what did you do? I am facing the same problem as you did. Would you please pass on the spring config code to me? thanks.
unfortunately do not have the project handy - I recall it was a spring config issue that I had incorrectly configured (make sure that you have the dependency configured correctly e.g. name/version and it is indeed getting pulled from whichever repo (local/remote) that you are pointing to in your pom file).
