      public class CompositeCacheManager
      extends Object
      implements InitializingBean, CacheManager

  Composite `CacheManager` implementation that iterates over a given collection of `CacheManager` instances. Allows `NoOpCacheManager` to be automatically added to the list for handling the cache declarations without a backing store.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### CompositeCacheManager

          public CompositeCacheManager()

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setCacheManagers

          public void setCacheManagers(Collection<CacheManager> cacheManagers)

    - #### setFallbackToNoOpCache

          public void setFallbackToNoOpCache(boolean fallbackToNoOpCache)

      Indicate whether a `NoOpCacheManager` should be added at the end of the manager lists. In this case, any `getCache` requests not handled by the configured cache managers will be automatically handled by the `NoOpCacheManager` (and hence never return `null`).

    - #### afterPropertiesSet

          public void afterPropertiesSet()

      Description copied from interface: `InitializingBean`
      Invoked by a BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties supplied (and satisfied BeanFactoryAware and ApplicationContextAware).

      This method allows the bean instance to perform initialization only possible when all bean properties have been set and to throw an exception in the event of misconfiguration.

      Specified by:
        `afterPropertiesSet` in interface `InitializingBean`

    - #### getCache

          public Cache getCache(String name)

      Description copied from interface: `CacheManager`

      Parameters:
        `name` - cache identifier (must not be `null`)
      Returns:
        associated cache, or `null` if none is found

    - #### getCacheNames

          public Collection<String> getCacheNames()

      Description copied from interface: `CacheManager`
      Return a collection of the caches known by this cache manager.
      Specified by:
        `getCacheNames` in interface `CacheManager`
      Returns:
