In JCache there is a handy functionality that transparently caches the result of methods. You can annotate methods of managed beans with @CacheResult<\/code> and the result of the first call will be returned again without calling the actual method a second time.<\/p>\n

import javax.cache.annotation.CacheResult;\r\n\/\/ ...\r\n\r\npublic class Calculator {\r\n\r\n    @CacheResult\r\n    public String calculate() {\r\n        \/\/ do some heavy lifting...\r\n        LockSupport.parkNanos(2_000_000_000L);\r\n\r\n        return \"Hi Duke, it's \" + Instant.now();\r\n    }\r\n}<\/pre>\n
If the bean is injected and the method calculate<\/code> called, the result will be cached after the first call. Per default this mechanism doesn\u2019t cache and return exceptions.<\/p>\n
We can include the calculator in a JAX-RS resource as follows:
 
<\/div> <\/div><\/p>\n
@Path(\"calculation\")\r\npublic class CalculationResource {\r\n\r\n    @Inject\r\n    Calculator calculator;\r\n\r\n    @GET\r\n    public String calculation() {\r\n        return calculator.calculate();\r\n    }\r\n}<\/pre>\n
Calling that HTTP resource will return the same value for all subsequent invocations.<\/p>\n
For this example to run in Java EE application servers we for now have to declare the interceptor that is responsible for caching the result. This is due to JCache not being included in the EE umbrella. Therefore this small configuration overhead needs to be done for now.<\/p>\n
If you want to run this example in WildFly specify the interceptor in the beans.xml<\/code>:<\/p>\n
<interceptors>\r\n    <class>org.infinispan.jcache.annotation.CacheResultInterceptor<\/class>\r\n<\/interceptors><\/pre>\n
WildFly uses Infinispan that needs to be added in the pom.xml<\/code> in the correct version as well.<\/p>\n
