Spring Abstraction Cache in OSGi Environment - caching

Question

I have problem making Spring Cache working in OSGi Environment. Maybe you can show me what i am missing.
I have configured Spring Cache successfully to work during tests like
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath:spring/spring-test.xml"})
public class CacheDictTest {
#Autowired
Dictionary dictionary;
#Test
public void getDict5Times() {
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
System.out.println(dictionary.getSourceDomains());
}
Assert.assertTrue(true);
}
}
The select is executed once and then i have 5 nice prints.
However I cannot make it work in a bundle
The Cacheable annotation seems to be ignored. Queries are performed everytime i call dictionary.getSourceDomains().
I use ServiceMix 5.3.0 as a container.
My configuration:
<cache:annotation-driven cache-manager="cacheManager"/>
<bean id="cacheManager" class="org.springframework.cache.support.SimpleCacheManager">
<property name="caches">
<set>
<bean class="org.springframework.cache.concurrent.ConcurrentMapCacheFactoryBean" p:name="dictionary"/>
</set>
</property>
</bean>
dictionary:
public class DictionaryImpl implements Dictionary {
private DictionaryDao repository;
public DictionaryDao getRepository() {
return repository;
}
public void setRepository(DictionaryDao repository) {
this.repository = repository;
}
#Override
public List<String> getSourceDomains() {
List<DictEntry> entries = repository.getDictionary(DictTypeEnum.SOURCE_DOMAIN);
List<String> domains = new ArrayList<>();
for(DictEntry entry : entries) {
domains.add(entry.getKey());
}
return domains;
}
}
and dao
public class DictionaryDaoImpl extends BaseDaoImpl implements DictionaryDao {
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(DictionaryDaoImpl.class);
#Override
#Cacheable(value="dictionary", key="#type")
public List<DictEntry> getDictionary(DictTypeEnum type) {
LOG.info("Loading {}", type);
Query q = getSession().createQuery("from DictEntry where type=:type");
q.setParameter("type", new DictType(type.getTypeId()));
List results = q.list();
LOG.debug("Results {}", results);
return results;
}
}
What i tried
Moving #Cacheable annotation to DictionaryDao (interface), to DictionaryImpl or Dictionary (interface) - no effect.
Use different cache implementantion (ehcache instead of JDK ConcurrentMap-based Cache) - no effect

Answer 1

The problem was missing import of Cacheable annotation package in osgi manifest.
org.springframework.cache.annotation
Servicemix did not show any error for missing class, just let the service work ignoring Cacheable annotation.
