CacheManager class abstract interface

Finds caches by name: the object the cache annotations ask for the cache they name.

Every application with the starter has one: unless the application declares its own, the starter creates an InMemoryCacheManager from the spring.cache.* properties. Declare a CacheManager bean to choose the caches yourself (fixed names, your own storage, a mix); the starter's one then steps aside and spring.cache.* no longer applies. Inject it to reach the caches by hand.

// Only these two caches exist; @Cacheable('other') fails the call.
@Configuration()
class CacheSetup {
  @Bean()
  CacheManager cacheManager() =>
      InMemoryCacheManager(cacheNames: ['books', 'authors']);
}

Spring (Java):

@Bean
CacheManager cacheManager() {
  return new ConcurrentMapCacheManager("books", "authors");
}
