How to have multiple cache manager configuration in spring cache java -

i want have multiple spring cache managers configured in web-application , able use different cache manager @ various places in project. there way this.

there several ways can , right answer depends on usage of cache.

you have "main" cache manager

if use cachemanager 90% of use case , b 10% i'd advise create default cachemanager (you'll need specify via cacheconfigurersupport extension), like:

@configuration @enabllecaching public class cacheconfig extends cachingconfigurersupport {      @override     @bean // not strictly necessary     public cachemanager cachemanager() { ... cachemanager }      @bean     public cachemanager bcachemanager() { ... cachemanager b } } 

then 10% use case add cacheconfig @ top of classes need use other cache manager

@cacheconfig(cachemanager="bcachemanager") public class myservice { ... } 

if need use other cache manager 1 method, can specify @ method level well

@cacheable(cachenames = "books", cachemanager = "bcachemanager") public book findbyid(long id) { ... } 

more fine grained resolution

if you're not in situation, need way know cache manager needs used on case-by-case basis. can based on target type (myservice) or name of cache (books). you'll need implement cacheresolver translation you.

@configuration @enabllecaching public class cacheconfig extends cachingconfigurersupport {      @override     public cacheresolver cacheresolver() { ... } } 

check javadoc of cacheresolver more details. in implementation, may have several cachemanager instances (either bean or not) you'll call internally based on logic determine manager should used.

i saw in comment referring "module". caching infrastructure matter i'd advice move decision @ application level. may tag cache being "local" , others being "clustered". should have kind of nomenclature name make easier. don't choose cache manager @ module level.
