Interface CacheOperationSource

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface CacheOperationSource

Interface used by CacheInterceptor. Implementations know how to source cache operation attributes, whether from configuration, metadata attributes at source level, or elsewhere.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Collection<CacheOperation>	getCacheOperations(Method method, Class<?> targetClass)	Return the collection of cache operations for this method, or null if the method contains no cacheable annotations.
default boolean	isCandidateClass(Class<?> targetClass)	Determine whether the given class is a candidate for cache operations in the metadata format of this CacheOperationSource.

Method Details

isCandidateClass

default boolean isCandidateClass(Class<?> targetClass)

Determine whether the given class is a candidate for cache operations in the metadata format of this CacheOperationSource.

If this method returns false, the methods on the given class will not get traversed for getCacheOperations(java.lang.reflect.Method, java.lang.Class<?>) introspection. Returning false is therefore an optimization for non-affected classes, whereas true simply means that the class needs to get fully introspected for each method on the given class individually.

Parameters:

targetClass - the class to introspect

Returns:

false if the class is known to have no cache operation metadata at class or method level; true otherwise. The default implementation returns true, leading to regular introspection.

5.2

getCacheOperations

@Nullable
Collection<CacheOperation> getCacheOperations(Method method,
 @Nullable
 Class<?> targetClass)

Return the collection of cache operations for this method, or null if the method contains no cacheable annotations.

Parameters:

method - the method to introspect

targetClass - the target class (can be null, in which case the declaring class of the method must be used)

Returns:

all cache operations for this method, or null if none found
