Caching Method Invocation Results

Worked on setting up a cache for a method invocation fetching results from a webservice using Spring Cache AOP and EHCache in a Spring-Maven environment.Long live sourceforge! The spring cache java doc is pretty helpful and this article by Pieter Coucke expands on what you read in the java doc. You can also have a look at my complete configuration (which works) and is based on the article and the java doc.

And if you are using Maven, you would need to add dependencies for ehcache and spring cache.

<dependency>
    <groupId>net.sf.ehcache</groupId>
    <artifactId>ehcache</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>spring-cache</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cache</artifactId>
    <version>2.4.1</version>
</dependency>
