Migrating ehcache to spring 3.2.3

Spring 3.2.3 offered new cache annotations and xml constructions. Make sure you use
org.springframework.cache.annotation.Cacheable instead of com.googlecode.ehcache.annotations.Cacheable. The correct xml initialization:


    <bean id="cacheManager" class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheCacheManager">
        <property name="cacheManager" ref="ehcache"/>
    </bean>

    <bean id="ehcache" class="org.springframework.cache.ehcache.EhCacheManagerFactoryBean">
        <property name="configLocation" value="classpath:ehcache.xml"/>
        <property name="shared" value="true"/>
    </bean>

    <cache:annotation-driven cache-manager="cacheManager" />

This must be placed in contextLoader part of spring congiguration (specified by contextConfigLocation parameter in web.xml), not in webapp part! cache namespace:

xmlns:cache="http://www.springframework.org/schema/cache", location: http://www.springframework.org/schema/cache http://www.springframework.org/schema/cache/spring-cache.xsd

Also add dependency on 'net.sf.ehcache:ehcache:2.7.4' instead of 'com.googlecode.ehcache-spring-annotations:ehcache-spring-annotations:1.2.0', 'cause we will use spring's annotation.

While using dev mode of GWT in Jetbrains IDEA, which runs jetty, I need to use spring instrumentation.
Default parameter -javaagent:spring-instrumentation.jar didn't work for me.
To run it wit Jetty you are to add additional parameter -Xbootclasspath. The final string:
-javaagent:/spring-instrument-3.2.0.RELEASE.jar -Xbootclasspath/a:spring-instrument-3.2.0.RELEASE.jar
