Spring MVC with caching

In this section, let us develop a simple MVC application to demonstrate simple spring caching. Let us start with the configuration.

To enable caching, we need to add the following configuration to the application context.xml file:

xmlns:cache="http://www.springframework.org/schema/cache"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd

Let us demonstrate an application context.xml file with a simple caching configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework...
