Interface CachingConfigurer

All Known Subinterfaces:

JCacheConfigurer

All Known Implementing Classes:

CachingConfigurerSupport, JCacheConfigurerSupport

public interface CachingConfigurer

Interface to be implemented by @Configuration classes annotated with @EnableCaching that wish or need to specify explicitly how caches are resolved and how keys are generated for annotation-driven cache management.

See @EnableCaching for general examples and context; see cacheManager(), cacheResolver() and keyGenerator() for detailed instructions.

Method Detail

cacheManager

@Nullable
default CacheManager cacheManager()

Return the cache manager bean to use for annotation-driven cache management. A default CacheResolver will be initialized behind the scenes with this cache manager. For more fine-grained management of the cache resolution, consider setting the CacheResolver directly.

Implementations must explicitly declare @Bean, e.g.

 @Configuration
 @EnableCaching
 public class AppConfig extends CachingConfigurerSupport {
     @Bean // important!
     @Override
     public CacheManager cacheManager() {
         // configure and return CacheManager instance
     }
     // ...
 }
 

See @EnableCaching for more complete examples.

cacheResolver

@Nullable
default CacheResolver cacheResolver()

Return the CacheResolver bean to use to resolve regular caches for annotation-driven cache management. This is an alternative and more powerful option of specifying the CacheManager to use.

If both a cacheManager() and #cacheResolver() are set, the cache manager is ignored.

Implementations must explicitly declare @Bean, e.g.

 @Configuration
 @EnableCaching
 public class AppConfig extends CachingConfigurerSupport {
     @Bean // important!
     @Override
     public CacheResolver cacheResolver() {
         // configure and return CacheResolver instance
     }
     // ...
 }
 

See EnableCaching for more complete examples.

keyGenerator

@Nullable
default KeyGenerator keyGenerator()

Return the key generator bean to use for annotation-driven cache management. Implementations must explicitly declare @Bean, e.g.

 @Configuration
 @EnableCaching
 public class AppConfig extends CachingConfigurerSupport {
     @Bean // important!
     @Override
     public KeyGenerator keyGenerator() {
         // configure and return KeyGenerator instance
     }
     // ...
 }
 

See @EnableCaching for more complete examples.

errorHandler

@Nullable
default CacheErrorHandler errorHandler()

Return the CacheErrorHandler to use to handle cache-related errors.

By default,SimpleCacheErrorHandler is used and simply throws the exception back at the client.

Implementations must explicitly declare @Bean, e.g.

 @Configuration
 @EnableCaching
 public class AppConfig extends CachingConfigurerSupport {
     @Bean // important!
     @Override
     public CacheErrorHandler errorHandler() {
         // configure and return CacheErrorHandler instance
     }
     // ...
 }
