I'm using Spring Cache abstraction and I have multiple caches defined. Sometimes, when data changes, I want to evict more than one caches. Is there away to evict multiple cache using Spring's @CacheEvict annotation?

You can do this:

@Caching(evict = {
    @CacheEvict("primary"),
    @CacheEvict(value = "secondary", key = "#p0")
})

Check out the Reference for details

    The Kotlin version of this is: @Caching(evict = [ CacheEvict("primary"), CacheEvict(value = ["secondary"], key = "#p0") ])

Keep it compact: You can evict multiple caches by enumerating them inside the @CacheEvict annotation:

@CacheEvict(value = { "cache1", "cache2" }, allEntries = true)

    Well yeah, assuming you want the same additional arguments (allEntries = true) to apply to all caches you specify. In my experience that ain't often.

    Can mention keys like this @CacheEvict(value = { "cache1", "cache2" }, key = "key")
