@CacheResult - local, distributed or replicated

[Will]

Hi,

If a method is annotated with @CacheResult and a cache name is not specified what is the cache type of the auto-generated cache based on the method signature? i.e. is it local, distributed or replicated?

Thanks, 

W

A cache isn't auto generated, a cache name is auto generated and that
named cache is retrieved from the CacheManager so you still need to
configure the cache in the cache manager.

According to the spec, 

With no {@link #cacheName()} specified a cache name of "my.app.DomainDao.getDomain(java.lang.String,int)"
 * will be generated.

The JSR107 API doesn't have a concept of local, distributed, or replicated - that's up to the cache configuration. If you have it create a generated cache, it'd be a cache of whatever type your cachemanager creates by default.
