Does Jcache exist on the JEE platform?

Question

Is there a cache engine in the JEE? Jcache exists on the JEE platform?

Answer 1

I believe that the Jcache ^(JSR107) is only available from JEE8, because in 7 there were some problems, as reported in this blog link of Oracle:

• https://blogs.oracle.com/theaquarium/jcache-to-miss-java-ee-7

If you are using 8, as per this https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.cache/cache-api/1.0.0 just add like this:

If you use Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.cache</groupId>
    <artifactId>cache-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

If you use Grandle:

 compile group: 'javax.cache', name: 'cache-api', version: '1.0.0'

If you use SBT:

libraryDependencies += "javax.cache" % "cache-api" % "1.0.0"

You can also download the .jar on the link:

• http://central.maven.org/maven2/javax/cache/cache-api/1.0.0/cache-api-1.0.0.jar
