ehcache in spring mvc

Question

I want to achive Spring annotation based cache using ehcache to cache some methods .

I know the way how it works.

My question is to resolve the dependency .

I need to know is it ehcache-core.jar is enough to achieve method level cache ?

or we need whole ehcache.jar to achieve the same .

if anyone explain me the difference between those 2 jars and help me to choose best fit one it would be great help for me.

also my application is using ehcahce-core with 2.4.1 already and

if i want to use ehcache.jar then i need to find the same version of ehcahce.jar which is bit challenging as i am currently not finding it.

Answer 1

Spring annotation bases caching with EhCache support will work with either the ehcache-core.jar or ehcache.jar (one of my projects uses the first while another uses the other).

You can find all the versions of ehcache.jar here and the versions of ehcache-core.jar here .
