I have been finding it hard to configure spring session in spring boot. I have seen a lot of implementation using Redis and using gem-fire and H2 JDBC has not resulted in anything productive. Can I use Redis with IntelliJ on my Windows system, because I heard it is not supported on Windows?

  • Also what do you mean by you heard? A simple google search will give you the answer. I use redis with IntelliJ on my Windows 10 without any issues. – Vivek Shankar Aug 19 '17 at 13:06
  • when i googled it some days ago, i got this "The Redis project does not officially support Windows. However, the Microsoft Open Tech group develops and maintains this Windows port targeting Win64.". so @Shanky my next question is how do i configure my spring session with redis in spring Bot. do u have any examples i can look at. – Eshiett Oto-obong Aug 19 '17 at 13:36

It is true that there is no official support for Redis on Windows. From official docs:

There is no official support for Windows builds, but Microsoft develops and maintains a Win-64 port of Redis.

But as mentioned Microsoft has been maintaining it's own version for over a year now, where you can find new releases and well defined steps for setup on Windows.

Tutorials:

There is also a tutorial on how to build Redis using visual studio. You also should look into the JetBrains plugin iedis.

Here is a tutorial for Redis with Spring, also here's an implementation of Spring Session with Redis.
