Cacheable condition SpEL cannot invoke bean methods [SPR-13812]

[spring-projects-issues]

Stéphane Nicoll opened SPR-13812 and commented

The condition attribute does not allow to use bean references. Assuming the following setup and a securityChecker bean with the requested method

@Cacheable(cacheNames = "myCache", condition = "@securityChecker.isSecured()")

We get

org.springframework.expression.spel.SpelEvaluationException: EL1057E:(pos 1): No bean resolver registered in the context to resolve access to bean 'securityChecker'
