Caching with Spring Framework

Spring Modules had a @Cacheable annotation:

org.springmodules.cache.annotations.Cacheable

Now that Spring Module is deprecated, what is the recommendation for caching? And is still still possible to work with ehCache?

Solution

  • Users of Spring Modules have rather been left out on a limb. There's no direct replacement for @Cacheable that I'm aware of.

    Spring does have some support for EhCache, though, in the form of EhCacheFactoryBean and related classes (see javadoc). This gives a pretty easy way of creating and managing EhCache instances, but you then have to make use of it manually.
