      Description copied from interface: `CacheAnnotationParser`
      Parses the cache definition for the given method or class, based on a known annotation type.

      This essentially parses a known cache annotation into Spring's metadata attribute class. Returns `null` if the method/class is not cacheable.

      Specified by:
        `parseCacheAnnotations` in interface `CacheAnnotationParser`
      Parameters:
        `ae` - the annotated method or class
      Returns:
        CacheOperation the configured caching operation, or `null` if none was found
