I am on JPA 2.1 Hibernate EHCache.

Here is my named query (the query code is not relevant):

List<MyEntity> list = getEntityManager()
    .createNamedQuery("my-query-id", MyEntity.class))
    .setHint(QueryHints.CACHEABLE,    true)
    .setHint(QueryHints.CACHE_REGION, "my-query-region")
    .setParameter("my-query-param", "my-param-value")
    .setMaxResults(1)
    .getResultList();

if (list.isEmpty()) {
    log.warn("No data found.");
    return null;
}

return list;

The goal I wish to achieve is to cache query result only if its result is non empty.

I am sure, beacause I inspected it by hibernate logging at a trace level, that empty result set is cached anyway.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Regards!

I found a solution by writing an EHCache Decorator like follow:

EHCache XML configuration fragment

<cache name="my-queries-region"
       maxEntriesLocalHeap="50000"
       eternal="false"
       timeToLiveSeconds="14400">

    <persistence strategy="none"/>

    <!-- https://www.ehcache.org/ehcache.xml -->

    <cacheDecoratorFactory
        class="com.example.JpaCacheDecoratorNotEmptyQueryFactory" />
</cache>

Decorator factory implementation

package com.example;

import net.sf.ehcache.Ehcache;
import net.sf.ehcache.constructs.CacheDecoratorFactory;

import java.util.Properties;

public class JpaCacheDecoratorNotEmptyQueryFactory extends CacheDecoratorFactory {

    @Override
    public Ehcache createDecoratedEhcache(Ehcache cache, Properties properties) {
        return new JpaCacheDecoratorNotEmptyQueryDecorator(cache);
    }

    @Override
    public Ehcache createDefaultDecoratedEhcache(Ehcache cache, Properties properties) {
        return new JpaCacheDecoratorNotEmptyQueryDecorator(cache);
    }
}
