JCache – the standard cache of Java EE

JCache was added to Java EE to enable the application and libraries to interact in a standard manner with the caching. Therefore, it has two types of APIs and features:

• A programmatic Cache API to write/read data
• A CDI integration to automatically put data in the cache

Setting up JCache

To use JCache, you may need to add it to your application—or to your server, depending on how you want to deploy it—since not all servers add it in their distribution(s). To do it with maven, you can add this dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.cache</groupId>
    <artifactId>cache-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency...
