Cannot find cache named '' for CacheableOperation[] caches

Question

My error is :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot find cache named 'getActionsBycasId' for CacheableOperation[public java.util.List com.codinko.database.DataBaseConnection.getActionsByCasId(int)] caches=[getActionsBycasId] | key='' | keyGenerator='' | cacheManager='' | cacheResolver='' | condition='' | unless=''

My function is :

@Cacheable("getActionsBycasId")
public List<SMSAction> getActionsByCasId(int casId){
    System.out.println("Inside getActionsByCasId");
    //My logic
    return list;
}    

when i add below on ehcache.xml then above error not comes but can't know why this error come .

<cache name="getActionsBycasId" maxElementsInMemory="50" eternal="false"
    overflowToDisk="false" memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="LFU" />    

Is this above configuration required in ehcache.xml file even though i used annotation ????

Declivity

The point is that you use the @Cacheable annotation to instruct Spring to cache the result in the cache named "getActionsBycasId". However, until you configure this cache via the Ehcache configuration file, you don't have a cache named "getActionsBycasId". – Alpert

The @Cacheable annotation doesn't work without separate configuration (which can be done in various ways in modern Spring Boot). – Amaranthine

Answer 1

Try this :

@Bean
public CacheManager cacheManager() {
    SimpleCacheManager cacheManager = new SimpleCacheManager();
    List<Cache> caches = new ArrayList<Cache>();
    caches.add(new ConcurrentMapCache("getActionsBycasId"));
    cacheManager.setCaches(caches);
    return cacheManager;
}

The OP was using Ehcache. How come this answer has so many votes if it resorts to using another cache (concurrent map cache)? – Ratliff

@Primary @Bean in my case watch this. javabeat.net/spring-cache – Holey

Answer 2

If you use spring cloud aws, disable automatic elasticache configuration.

@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = ElastiCacheAutoConfiguration.class)
@EnableCaching
@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

Ablation

Thanks that solved my problem. It is weird though that this issue does not happen if my application runs on a local box but only happens when the application is deployed to EC2. – Licking

Answer 3

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = {
        ContextStackAutoConfiguration.class,
        ElastiCacheAutoConfiguration.class
})

Just being nit-picky use @SpringBootApplication instead of @EnableAutoConfiguration

Unset

Add ehcache.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <config xmlns='http://www.ehcache.org/v3'>

        <persistence directory="${java.io.tmpdir}" />

        <cache-template name="default">

Update your application.properties

 spring.cache.jcache.config=classpath:ehcache.xml

Answer 5

Try changing

<bean id="ehcache" class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheManagerFactoryBean">
  <property name="cacheManagerName" value="cacheManager_service" />
  <property name="configLocation" value="classpath:ehcache-services.xml" />
  <property name="shared" value="true" />
</bean>

To

<bean id="ehcache" class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheManagerFactoryBean" primary="true">
  <property name="cacheManagerName" value="cacheManager_service" />
  <property name="configLocation" value="classpath:ehcache-services.xml" />
</bean>

Answer 6

You can define ehcache.xml in resources folder and consider configuring ,, tags and set alias as your cache able method. It worked for me.

Answer 7

As you have in your class path resource an ehcache.xml file already with configurations, the best way there is to initialize a bean with this file configuration:

  @Bean
  public EhCacheManagerFactoryBean ehCacheCacheManager() {
    final EhCacheManagerFactoryBean ehCacheManagerFactoryBean = new EhCacheManagerFactoryBean();
    ehCacheManagerFactoryBean.setConfigLocation(new ClassPathResource("ehcache.xml"));
    ehCacheManagerFactoryBean.setShared(true);
    return ehCacheManagerFactoryBean;
  }

  @Bean
  public CacheManager cacheManager() {
    return new EhCacheCacheManager(ehCacheCacheManager().getObject());
  }

Answer 8

just create a @Bean like this in your unit-test's configurations:

@Bean
public CacheManager cacheManager() {
  return new ConcurrentMapCacheManager("cacheName1", "cacheName2", "cacheName3", "cacheNameN");
}

Answer 9

For caffeine it could be fixed in application.yaml:

spring:
  cache:
    cache-names: getActionsBycasId, ...

Answer 10

The above exclude option, didnt work for me. But, the below worked.!! If you are using spring aws cloud, then exclude the elastic like below.

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-aws-messaging</artifactId>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
                    <artifactId>
                        elasticache-java-cluster-client
                    </artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>
