How to specify some default custom made keygenerators?

[csplrj]

I want to specify some default custom made keygenerators? How to
achieve the same

I found something relating to this but could not get the example to
understand it.
http://code.google.com/p/ehcache-spring-annotations/issues/list?cursor=1


How does Spring Ehcache annotations works? I mean does it
automatically uses ListCacheKeyGenerator for List and normal
HashCodeCacheKeyGenerator for normal Objects?

Thanks in advance

You can specify the default key generator on the <ehcache:annotation-driven /> element in your spring context file

<ehcache:annotation-driven default-cache-key-generator="myKeyGenerator"/>
<bean id="myKeyGenerator" class="com.example.cache.MyCustomCacheKeyGenerator"/>

If you don't ever specify a key generator anywhere HashCodeCacheKeyGenerator will be used. It generates a Java long value that represents a reasonable combination of the hash codes of the method and arguments. The ListCacheKeyGenerator for example generates a List object that contains the method and arguments and when the key is compared List.equals is used.
