Lucee Redis Single Cache Extension

Clone of https://github.com/lucee/extension-redis and adapted to redis single.

The redis driver is based on Jedis. While this is a very robust driver and Redis is amaxing this project has to be considered in Beta stage. Feel free to fork it and provide your feedbacks.

Installation

• Clone repository.
• cd extension-redis-single
• ant modern
• Upload dist/modern/redisdb-extension.lex in Lucee Admin - Extension - Applications.

Please note that the extension is installable only in the server admin. This means that is not possible to install it for a single web context.

Create and configure the cache

Create a new cache selecting Redis Cache as Type.

Add some configuration:

• If you like you can use the driver to store the Session Scope. If this is your intention you can flag "Allow to use this cache as client/session storage."
• Server/Host => says to the Lucee how to connect to Redis. By default this is setted to localhost:6379. Please tune this following your environments needs. Note that the driver actually support a single Redis Server.
• Namesapce => choose the namespace that will be used to avoid keys name clashing between differents cache instances.

Well. You are done.

Important

• Metadata:

  • The cache will return only the hits count for any single key.
  • The general counter (missed, hits) for the cache instance itself are not updated

• idletime: Not supported. Any passed value will be ignored. Timespan is fully supported.
