Cache Annotations

The following cache annotations are supported:

• @Cacheable - Indicates a method is cacheable within the given cache name

• @CachePut - Indicates that the return value of a method invocation should be cached. Unlike @Cacheable the original operation is never skipped.

• @CacheInvalidate - Indicates the invocation of a method should cause the invalidation of one or many caches.

By using one of the annotations the CacheInterceptor is activated which in the case of @Cacheable will cache the return result of the method.

If the return type of the method is a non-blocking type (either CompletableFuture or an instance of Publisher the emitted result will be cached.

In addition if the underlying Cache implementation supports non-blocking cache operations then cache values will be read from the cache without blocking, resulting in the ability to implement completely non-blocking cache operations.
