Implementing spring caching with ehcache....

Implementing spring caching with ehcache....

The Spring caching is in the spring-context.jar, to 

 support Ehcache caching, you need to include the 

 spring-context-support.jar as well.

Step-1

Add Below Dependency for Ehcache.

<dependency>

   <groupId>net.sf.ehcache</groupId>

    <artifactId>ehcache</artifactId>

     <version>2.9.0</version>

</dependency>

<!-- Spring caching framework inside this -->

<dependency>

<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>

<artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>

<version>4.1.4.RELEASE</version>

</dependency>

<!-- Support for Ehcache and others -->

<dependency>

<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>

<artifactId>spring-context-support</artifactId>

<version>4.1.4.RELEASE</version>

</dependency>

Step-2

 create a xml file as shown in below.

 ehcache.xml (classpath in this example)

<ehcache xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="ehcache.xsd" 

updateCheck="true"

monitoring="autodetect" 

dynamicConfig="true">

<diskStore path="java.io.tmpdir" />

<cache name="movieFindCache" 

maxEntriesLocalHeap="10000"

maxEntriesLocalDisk="1000" 

eternal="false" 

diskSpoolBufferSizeMB="20"

timeToIdleSeconds="300" timeToLiveSeconds="600"

memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="LFU" 

transactionalMode="off">

<persistence strategy="localTempSwap" />

</cache>

</ehcache>

Step-3

<!-- Define the cache manager factory instance -->

   <bean id="ehcache"

     class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheManagerFactoryBean"

                p:configLocation="classpath:ehcache.xml" p:shared="true" />

Step-4

<!-- Define the cache manager instance -->

        <bean id="cacheManager" class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheCacheManager"

                p:cacheManager-ref="ehcache" />

Step-5

<!-- Drive caching via annotations -->

        <cache:annotation-driven cache-manager="cacheManager"

                proxy-target-class="true" />
