Confusion with @RedisListener annotation

[michaldo]

Spring Boot 4.1.1-SNAPSHOT

1. Docs says:

To enable support for @RedisListener annotations, you can add @EnableRedisListeners to one of your @configuration classes, as the following example shows:

Whan can means here? I checked @RedisListener works without @EnableRedisListeners and without @Bean RedisMessageListenerContainer redisMessageListenerContainer

2. Bean with method annotated with @RedisListener, implementing SubscriptionListener does not receive subscription notification. It is not confusion but feature request (Kafka works that way). Order of subscription should be manageable.

It pretty much depends on your setup. If you use Spring Boot, then you are not required to use @EnableRedisListeners because Spring Boot ships auto-configuration that handles this aspect for you.

If you are using a plain Spring Framework setup without Spring Boot, then using the annotation is a good idea. Otherwise, you would have to import the configuration infrastructure yourself.
