Maven dependency for Spring with caching
If you are using Maven as a build tool, ensure that you add the ehcache dependency in the pom.xml file. Below is the Maven dependency for using cache with spring's caching framework:
<groupId>net.sf.ehcache</groupId> <artifactId>ehcache</artifactId> <version>2.7.4</version> </dependency>
Declarative configuration of ehcache
In the following section, we can see how we can configure the cache storage declaratively. The ecache.xml file is as follows:
<ehcache
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="ehcache.xsd"
updateCheck="true"
monitoring="autodetect"
dynamicConfig="true"
maxBytesLocalHeap="150M"
>
<diskStore path="java.io.tmpdir"/>
<cache name="searchResults"
maxBytesLocalHeap="100M"
eternal="false"
timeToIdleSeconds="300"
overflowToDisk="true"
maxElementsOnDisk="1000"
memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="LRU"/>
<cache...
