I want to cache some JPA entities to improve performance. So I set-up caching for my spring-boot application and added the javax.persistence.Cachable annotation to an entity.
@Entity
@Cacheable
public class Customer {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
private Long id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
}
This does nothing. If I watch the application startup log and saving and retreiving entities, I can see that no cache is configured for the entity and nothing is written or read from the cache.
However if I change @Cacheable
to @org.hibernate.annotations.Cache(usage = CacheConcurrencyStrategy.READ_WRITE)
the caching starts to work as expected.
Since I'd like to stick to standard JPA annotations, the question is what's missing to get @Cacheable
working?
This are my configuration files:
application.properties
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache=true
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.cache.region.factory_class=jcache
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.javax.cache.provider=org.ehcache.jsr107.EhcacheCachingProvider
logging.level.org.hibernate.cache=DEBUG
logging.level.org.ehcache=DEBUG
logging.level.org.hibernate.event.internal.DefaultLoadEventListener=TRACE

According to the JPA 2.0 specification, if you want to selectively cache entities using the @Cacheable
annotation, you're supposed to specify a "share cache mode".
spring.jpa.properties.javax.persistence.sharedCache.mode=ALL
