Support from Spring Framework sans Boot

[Grogdunn]

Hi, I need to "mix" a SQL database (Postrgres+Hibernate in production) and Redis. I've struggled a lot, but with no luck.

I wish to enable transactions, so I've configured:

@Bean(name = "redisTemplate")
@Primary
public StringRedisTemplate redisTemplate(JedisConnectionFactory connectionFactory) {
    final var stringRedisTemplate = new StringRedisTemplate(connectionFactory);
    stringRedisTemplate.setEnableTransactionSupport(true);
    return stringRedisTemplate;
}

But at runtime, I get this error:

org.springframework.data.keyvalue.core.UncategorizedKeyValueException: Cannot invoke "java.lang.Boolean.booleanValue()" because the return value of "org.springframework.data.redis.connection.RedisKeyCommands.exists(byte[])" is null

Have I done something "illegal"?
