Configuring caching (attributes and/or xml)

[gusgorman]

Hi,

I am reading the documentation about caching here http://www.springframework.net/doc-l...t-library.html and I'm a bit confused, so I just want to make sure I have understood it correctly.

If you use the xml as given in the example, ie:

<object" id="CacheAspect" type="Spring.Aspects.Cache.CacheAspect, Spring.Aop"/>

<object id="AspNetCache" type="Spring.Caching.AspNetCache, Spring.Web">
  <property name="SlidingExpiration" value="true"/>
  <property name="Priority" value="Low"/>
  <property name="TimeToLive" value="00:02:00"/>
</object>

<!-- Apply aspects to DAOs -->
<object type="Spring.Aop.Framework.AutoProxy.ObjectNameAutoProxyCreator, Spring.Aop">
  <property name="ObjectNames">
    <list>
      <value>*Dao</value>
    </list>
  </property>
  <property name="InterceptorNames">
    <list>
      <value>CacheAspect</value>
    </list>
  </property>
</object>

Does this mean the container will then look for all objects matched by *Dao that are also marked with [CacheResult("AspNetCache", "whatever..")] and apply the caching advice to them?

ie, it is never enough to just mark the method with the CacheResult attribute, you also need to set up the ObjectNameAutoProxyCreator as above?

Just making sure

regards,
Jordan.
