With spring boot, I was able to achieve success with this:

First, you need to add spring-boot-starter-data-redis artifact to your POM file.

 
    org.springframework.boot 
    spring-boot-starter-data-redis 

After this, you need to add the required the following configurations in your application.properties files:

#------ Redis Properties -------------
spring.cache.type=redis
spring.redis.host=127.0.0.1
spring.redis.port=6379
spring.cache.redis.time-to-live=600000

The property to set is spring.cache.redis.time-to-live (value is in milliseconds. 10 mins was set in this case). With this, @Cacheable works with the set default TTL.
