Why does @Cacheable not support configuring expiration time?

[icankeep]

hello,
I have some confusion when using spring-cache
For example, when I use method's caching, I hope the results can be cached and the cache expires regularly. Now @Cacheable doesn't seem to support it. If I want to do this, I need to write some code. I don't know why doesn't Spring support cache expiration? It would be even better if it could support scheduled refresh, which could help me reduce some development time and avoid introducing other additional dependencies

This is covered in the reference guide. The cache abstraction isn't an abstraction on how the cache can be configured, it wouldn't be wise to try to do that anyway.

If you need expiry on your cache, choose a cache provider that supports this feature and configure it accordingly.
