A Spring Boot 4.1.1 module whose test suite is the evidence for the article: 20 tests
producing 22 transcripts under docs/output/, plus 12 documentation chapters.
Findings the build pins:
- @EnableCaching has no exposeProxy attribute; the widely-copied
@EnableCaching(exposeProxy = true) does not compile.
- Two methods sharing a cache name and an argument type share a key space, and one
silently serves the other's answers.
- The documented cache-provider detection order does not match CacheType's enum
order in 4.1.1: COUCHBASE before INFINISPAN, and CACHE2K before CAFFEINE.
- beforeInvocation = true is NOT deferred by TransactionAwareCacheManagerProxy on
7.0.9 - doEvict picks evictIfPresent, which the decorator does not intercept.
- Four of five invalid declarations start a clean context and throw at the first call.
- Caffeine on the classpath silently displaces the simple provider.
