Spring Cache: Evict multiple caches

Question

I'm using Spring Cache abstraction and I have multiple caches defined. Sometimes, when data changes, I want to evict more than one caches. Is there away to evict multiple cache using Spring's @CacheEvict annotation?

You can do this:

@Caching(evict = {
    @CacheEvict("primary"),
    @CacheEvict(value = "secondary", key = "#p0")
})

Check out the Reference for details

How to do if 1 is @CachePut & another one is @CacheEvict? – Satish Patro May 23 '19 at 13:32

The Kotlin version of this is: `@Caching(evict = [ CacheEvict("primary"), CacheEvict(value = ["secondary"], key = "#p0") ])` – Jonas Pedersen Sep 14 '22 at 12:12

Keep it compact: You can evict multiple caches by enumerating them inside the @CacheEvict annotation:

@CacheEvict(value = { "cache1", "cache2" }, allEntries = true)

Well yeah, assuming you want the same additional arguments (`allEntries = true`) to apply to all caches you specify. In my experience that ain't often. – Madbreaks Nov 17 '17 at 21:20
How would you deal with keys with this syntax? – Bilal Ahmed Yaseen Sep 28 '18 at 11:12

Can mention keys like this `@CacheEvict(value = { "cache1", "cache2" }, key = "key")` – YohanK Oct 21 '21 at 12:19
