#### 24.1.7. `@Cacheable`

<div class="paragraph">

The [`@Cacheable`](http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/persistence/Cacheable.html) annotation is used to specify whether an entity should be stored in the second-level cache.

</div>
<div class="paragraph">

If the `persistence.xml` `shared-cache-mode` XML attribute is set to `ENABLE_SELECTIVE`, then only the entities annotated with the `@Cacheable` are going to be stored in the second-level cache.

</div>
<div class="paragraph">

If `shared-cache-mode` XML attribute value is `DISABLE_SELECTIVE`, then the entities marked with the `@Cacheable` annotation are not going to be stored in the second-level cache, while all the other entities are stored in the cache.
