Ehcache with Spring with CacheDecoratorFactory not configured

Question

I am implementing ehcache with Spring project but not success.

Here is my setting in applicationContext.xml:

<ehcache:annotation-driven />
<bean id="cacheManager" class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheManagerFactoryBean">
    <property name="configLocation" value="/META-INF/spring/ehcache.xml" />
</bean>

Here is my setting in ehcache.xml:

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

    <diskStore path="java.io.tmpdir" /> 
    <defaultCache eternal="true" maxElementsInMemory="100" overflowToDisk="false" />
    <cache name="listTop" maxElementsInMemory="10" eternal="true" overflowToDisk="false" />

</ehcache>

Here is my implementation class:

@Cacheable(cacheName="listTop")
public void listTop(News news, String regionCode, Integer count, Integer categoryId, String listType){
//code here//
}

I got the following message that seems the cache is not configured:

Is there anyone know and help? Many thanks.

Answer 1

You need to tell EhCache to apply the decorator to the defined cache like this (and you have to implement MyCacheDecoratorFactory to do what you want):

<cache name="listTop" maxElementsInMemory="10" eternal="true" overflowToDisk="false" ><cacheDecoratorFactory class="com.test.MyCacheDecoratorFactory", properties="blah=true,someValue=2000" /></cache>

I missed the fact that you can pass properties - thanks – Malo

Answer 2

Cache not working has nothing to do with CacheDecoratorFactory. These are debug logs telling you that you're not using a CacheDecoratorFactory.

CacheDecorator are a way for the developer to add functionalities to the cache. More on Ehcache 2.8 documentation.

Note that the CacheDecoratorFactory class disappeared in 3.0

Thank you for the clarification. When I have started use ehcache in PlayFramework, I was getting this message, Trying to decide this is ignorable or not. Now I will just ignore it. – Crossarm
