@CacheEvict not working when there's @Cacheable in the same class?

[juanmanuel32]

Hello,

I have two methods in my class like this:

@Cacheable("mycache")
@Transactional(readOnly = true)
public SearchResultDTO<PromotionDTO> getPromotions(int startIndex, int pageSize, ....){
    .....
}

@CacheEvict(value = "mycache", allEntries = true)
@Transactional(readOnly = false)
public void deletePromotion(String applicationId, Long promotionId) {
    .....
}

When I start the app, the SpringCacheAnnotationParser parser is never called to process the CacheEvict annotation (method: public Collection<CacheOperation> parseCacheAnnotations(AnnotatedElement ae) )

If I change my code and remove the Cacheable annotation, the parser processes the CacheEvict annotation properly.

Is this a bug or a framework restriction?

Regards,
Juan

Hi,

I have the same problem. Did you (or anyone) find out, what is/was the problem or what to do (except of putting it into another class)?

Annotations are in the implementation of an interface... both are public...

Spring 3.1.2

@Override
	@CacheEvict(value="accessMap", allEntries=true)
	public void resetAccessMap()
	{
		LOG....
	}
	
	@Override
	@Cacheable(value="accessMap")
	public Collection<String> getAccessMap(Role role)

Thanks in advance!

sorry for spamming - found the answer to my question here:

http://stackoverflow.com/a/10347208

"In proxy mode (which is the default), only external method calls coming in through the proxy are intercepted. This means that self-invocation, in effect, a method within the target object calling another method of the target object, will not lead to an actual caching at runtime even if the invoked method is marked with @Cacheable - considering using the aspectj mode in this case."
