SelfPopulatingCache in Ehcache 3.2

Question

SelfPopulatingCache is available in Ehcache version 2.8 but not in version 3.2. Is there something that gives the same functionality in version 3.2?

Answer 1

Ehcache 3.x does not reproduce this concept directly.

However you can perfectly achieve the same result by using a CacheLoaderWriter. Simply ignore the write-through part by having no-op implementations and implement the load and loadAll method to perform the logic you find in the Ehcache 2.x CacheEntryFactory.
