Spring CacheManager

Let's look at the core interfaces and implementation classes that are used for configuring caching in a Spring caching framework. Spring CacheManager is actually an interface in the Spring's caching framework. The following is the list of classes that implement the CacheManager interface:

• AbstractCacheManager: This abstract class implements the CacheManager interface. It is useful for static environments, where the backing caches do not change.

• CompositeCacheManager: This is the composite CacheManager implementation that iterates over a given collection of CacheManager instances. It allows NoOpCacheManager to be automatically added to the list for handling the cache declarations without a backing store.

• ConcurrentMapCacheManager: This is the CacheManager implementation that lazily builds ConcurrentMapCache instances for each getCache(java.lang.String) request. It also supports a static mode where the set of cache names is predefined through setCacheNames(java.util.Collection...
