EhCache 3 and Spring Boot

Is there a way to abstract the EhCache 3 CacheManager (org.ehcache.CacheManager) to Spring's CacheManager (org.springframework.cache.CacheManager)?

With EhCache2, it is possible, by the following:

  @Bean
  public org.springframework.cache.CacheManager cacheManager(net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager ehcache) {    
    EhCacheCacheManager cacheManager = new EhCacheCacheManager(ehcache);
    return cacheManager;
  }

HINT: I've found a way to abstract the javax.cache.CacheManager cacheManager to the Spring's CacheManager (org.springframework.cache.CacheManager), by: 

  @Bean
  public org.springframework.cache.CacheManager cacheManager(javax.cache.CacheManager cacheManager) {
    return new JCacheCacheManager(cacheManager);
  }

It will be also helpful if there is a way to cast org.ehcache.CacheManager to javax.cache.CacheManager .

Thanks.

Solution

  • Yes, you should rely on the standard Java caching specification, JSR-107, aka JCache (javax.cache.CacheManager)

    Spring has a nice integration of it, and Ehcache2 and Ehcache3 also are compatible with it
