BCaching works normally without @EnableCaching
CApplication fails to start with error

Solution:

  1. Step 1: Role of @EnableCaching

    @EnableCaching activates Spring's caching support globally.

  2. Step 2: Effect of missing @EnableCaching

  3. Final Answer:

    Caching will not work; method executes every time -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    No @EnableCaching means no caching [OK]
Quick Trick: Always add @EnableCaching to activate caching [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking @Cacheable alone enables caching
  • Expecting errors without @EnableCaching
  • Assuming partial caching works
