Spring Data JPA Redis : Cannot write custom method based query - spring-boot

Question

I have configured Spring Data JPA with Redis and using RedisRepositories with provides methods like find(), findAll() etc. All these methods seem to be working just fine, but I am not able to write my custom method like.
RedisEntity findByGenderAndGrade(String gender, String grade);
RedisEntity is a simple POJO Entity class. If you want any more info, please let me know in messages.
Following is my entity:
#Data
#RedisHash("test1")
public class RedisEntity implements Serializable {
#Id
#GeneratedValue
private String id;
private String name;
private String gender;
private Integer grade;
}
Repository:
#Repository
public interface TestRepository extends JpaRepository<RedisEntity, String> {
List<RedisEntity> findAllByGender(String gender);
List<RedisEntity> findAllByGrade(Integer grade);
}
Service/Controller:
#Override
public List<RedisEntity> getById(String id) {
return testRepository.findById(id); //returns data perfectly.
}
#Override
public List<RedisEntity> getAllByGender(String gender) {
return testRepository.findAllByGender(gender); //returns []
}
#Override
public void saveEntity(RedisEntity redisEntity) {
testRepository.save(redisEntity); // saves it in redis perfectly.
}
Also,
findByGender and findAllByGender both give [], although I can see data in my redis database and save it as well.
As requested by FrançoisDupire,
#Configuration
public class RedisConfig {
#Autowired
private DeploymentProperties deploymentProperties;
private static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(RedisConfig.class);
#Bean
JedisConnectionFactory jedisConnectionFactory() {
RedisStandaloneConfiguration redisStandaloneConfiguration = new RedisStandaloneConfiguration("localhost", 6379);
redisStandaloneConfiguration.setPassword(RedisPassword.of("root"));
return new JedisConnectionFactory(redisStandaloneConfiguration);
}
#Bean
public RedisTemplate<String, Object> redisTemplate() {
RedisTemplate<String, Object> template = new RedisTemplate<>();
template.setConnectionFactory(jedisConnectionFactory());
return template;
}
}
Also, I had referred this article: Baeldung article on Spring data redis

Answer 1

As mentioned by #JoshJ and verified by myself and others,
The solution to the problem is:
Adding #Indexed annotation
to all those columns/fields which need to be used with all finds.
#Data
#RedisHash("EmployeeDetails")
public class RedisEntity {
#Id
private String employeeId;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
#Indexed
private String gender;
#Indexed
private String grade;
}

We have the Spring Data Redis Library which provides the scope to write the custom method.Attaching Sample code.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-data-redis</artifactId>
<version>2.0.8.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
Entity Definition
#Data
#RedisHash("EmployeeDetails")
public class RedisEntity {
#Id
private String employeeId;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private String gender;
private String grade;
}
Repository Definition
#Repository
public interface RedisEntityRepository extends CrudRepository<RedisEntity, String>{
List<RedisEntity> findAllByGenderAndGrade(String gender, String grade);
}
Implementation
#Component
public class RedisEntityImpl implements RedisEntityService {
#Autowired
private RedisEntityRepository redisEntityRepository;
#Override
public List<RedisEntity> getAllByGenderAndGrade(String gender, String grade) {
return redisEntityRepository.findAllByGenderAndGrade(gender,grade);
}
}
Properties
spring.cache.type = redis
spring.redis.host = localhost
spring.redis.port = 6379
