Hibernate implements a cache region for queries resultset that integrates closely with the hibernate second-level cache.
This is an optional feature and requires additional steps in code. This is only useful for queries that are run frequently with the same parameters. First of all we need to configure below property in hibernate configuration file.
<property name="hibernate.cache.use_query_cache">true</property>
And in code, we need to use setCacheable(true) method of Query, quick example looks like below.
Query query = session.createQuery("from Employee");
query.setCacheable(true);
query.setCacheRegion("ALL_EMP");
