Most repositories use the @Component annotation. To enable request-scoped caching on repositories, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

1. Ensure that your repository is located in package following the naming pattern: *.integration.epcommerce.repository, where * is any prefix. For example, com.elasticpath.rest.resource.integration.epcommerce.repository would be an appropriate package.
2. Ensure that your repository's class name ends with RepositoryImpl. For example, CarsRepositoryImpl.

Cortex caches on runtime for @Component annotated repositories.

Legacy repositories using the @Named annotation require the steps described for @Component annotated repositories, as well as the following requirements:

If the package name does not start with com.elasticpath.rest, then the package name must be added to the <context:component-scan/> element in resources\OSGI-INF\blueprint\ext-applicationContext-repositories-integration.xml:

<context:component-scan base-package="my.pkg.with.custom.repos" scope-resolver="org.springframework.context.annotation.Jsr330ScopeMetadataResolver"/commerce-legacy/>

When adding multiple packages to <context:component-scan/>, the values should be comma separated:

<context:component-scan base-package="my.pkg.with.custom.repos,my.pkg.with.custom.repos2" scope-resolver="org.springframework.context.annotation.Jsr330ScopeMetadataResolver"/commerce-legacy/>

Cortex caches at load time for @Named annotated repositories.
