spring-cache

I'm using spring-cache to improve database queries, which works fine as follows: @Bean public CacheManager cacheManager() { return new ConcurrentMapCacheManager("books"); } @Cacheable("books") public Book getByIsbn(String isbn) { return dao.findByIsbn(isbn); } But now I want to prepopulate the full book-cache on startup. Which means I want to call dao.findAll() and put all values into the cache. This routine shall than only be scheduled periodically. But how can I explicit populate a cache when using @Cacheable ? Just use the cache as before, add a scheduler to update cache, code snippet is

I have developed a Spring Data repository, MemberRepository interface, that extends org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository . MemberRepository has a method: @Cacheable(CacheConfiguration.DATABASE_CACHE_NAME) Member findByEmail(String email); The result is cached by Spring cache abstraction (backed by a ConcurrentMapCache ). The issue I have is that I want to write an integration test (against hsqldb) that asserts that the result is retrieved from db the first time and from cache the second time . I initially thought of mocking the jpa infrastructure (entity manager, etc.) and

I'm trying to call a @Cacheable method from within the same class: @Cacheable(value = "defaultCache", key = "#id") public Person findPerson(int id) { return getSession().getPerson(id); } public List<Person> findPersons(int[] ids) { List<Person> list = new ArrayList<Person>(); for (int id : ids) { list.add(findPerson(id)); } return list; } and hoping that the results from findPersons are cached as well, but the @Cacheable annotation is ignored, and findPerson method got executed everytime. Am I doing something wrong here, or this is intended? Biju Kunjummen This is because of the way proxies
