How it works

The library consists of 5 main parts:

1. Signalizer (AOP, dynamic proxy etc.)
2. Transaction manager
3. Session factory
4. Bindings
5. Data mappers (jaxb, jackson json, jdk serialization etc.)

Signalizer

The Signalizer, with the help of a aspect or an interception library, sends signals to the Transaction Manager when to open/close/discard a connection/transaction/pipeline. It basically binds to the execution of the method which should be managed.

Transaction manager

The transaction manager manages the state of the connection and is always coupled with a Signalizer from which it receives the instructions to start, stop or abort a connection/transaction/pipeline.

Session factory

The session factory basically creates Sessions. It's always coupled with a transaction manager from which the factory retrieves the connection bound to the current thread. The created session is always bound to a specific managed method by Redis Data, a key data mapper and a value data mapper. This ensures that the data types of the keys and values are always the same.

Bindings

Bindings basically bind session factories with data mappers and command types.

Data mappers

Data mappers are bound to a java type. They tell Redis Data how to serialize/deserialize, marshall/unmarshall the data.
