应用程序上下文中用于可缓存注释的类Bean

Question

I'm using Spring 4.1.4 and Ehcache 2.9 and caching using the @Cacheable annotation.
I've noticed that every public class that has a method with this annotation must be referenced in

applicationContext.xml

as follows

<bean class="com.example.web.Test"/>

this forces me to add every public class that i want to cache into the applicationContext.

Is there a way to overcome this?

Thanks

Of course @Cacheable works only for spring beans.

There are many ways to instantiate a spring bean, explicite xml configuration <bean class="..."/> is only one. An other way is to enable the component scan and annotate the class with @Component or @Service (or some other) annotations.
