This document discusses caching in Spring and JSR-107. It provides an overview of the main caching annotations and entities in Spring and their equivalents in JSR-107. It also lists several popular caching providers and their support for local/distributed caching, non-blocking access, and integration with Spring and JSR-107. Finally, it provides some references for further information on Java caching.

2. JSR-107 (JCache)
API: javax.cache
JCache entities:
[Caching] getCachingProvider, getCache
CachingProvider getCacheManager, close...
CacheManager createCache, destroyCache, getCache...
Cache put[All], containsKey, get[All], replace,
remove[All]
Entry getKey, getValue

3. Spring Cache
@EnableCaching enable caching
@Cacheable cache first, invoke method if not found
@CachePut invoke method, put into cache
@CacheEvict drop from cache, invoke method
@Caching combine different annotations
@CacheConfig cache configuration

4. Spring 4.1+ vs JSR-107
@Cacheable @CacheResult
@CachePut @CachePut (@CacheValue)
@CacheEvict @CacheRemove
@CacheEvict(allEntries = true) @CacheRemoveAll
@CacheConfig @CacheDefaults
@EnableCaching + JSR-107 API
+ spring-context-support
