Spring 2.5 to 3.1
This open source, led by Eric Dalquist, predates the Spring 3.1 project. You can use it with earlier versions of Spring, or you can use it with 3.1.
@Cacheable
As with Spring 3.1 it uses an @Cacheable annotation to cache a method. In this example calls to findMessage are stored in a cache named "messageCache". The values are of type Message. The id for each entry is the id argument given.
@Cacheable(cacheName = "messageCache")
public Message findMessage(long id)
@TriggersRemove
And for cache invalidation, there is the @TriggersRemove annotation. In this example, cache.removeAll() is called after the method is invoked.
@TriggersRemove(cacheName = "messagesCache",
when = When.AFTER_METHOD_INVOCATION, removeAll = true)
public void addMessage(Message message)
