    - #### cacheManager

          CacheManager cacheManager()

      Return the cache manager bean to use for annotation-driven cache management. Implementations must explicitly declare `@Bean`, e.g.

           @Configuration
           @EnableCaching
           public class AppConfig implements CachingConfigurer {
               @Bean // important!
               @Override
               public CacheManager cacheManager() {
                   // configure and return CacheManager instance
               }
               // ...
           }

      See @`EnableCaching` for more complete examples.

    - #### keyGenerator

          KeyGenerator keyGenerator()

      Return the key generator bean to use for annotation-driven cache management. Implementations must explicitly declare `@Bean`, e.g.

           @Configuration
           @EnableCaching
           public class AppConfig implements CachingConfigurer {
               @Bean // important!
               @Override
               public KeyGenerator keyGenerator() {
                   // configure and return KeyGenerator instance
               }
               // ...
           }
