```
Collection<CacheOperation> parseCacheAnnotations(Class<?> type)
```
    Parse the cache definition for the given class, based on an annotation type understood by this parser.
    This essentially parses a known cache annotation into Spring's metadata attribute class. Returns null if the class is not cacheable.
    Parameters:
    type - the annotated class
    Returns:
    the configured caching operation, or null if none found

    AnnotationCacheOperationSource.findCacheOperations(Class)

```
Collection<CacheOperation> parseCacheAnnotations(Method method)
```
    Parse the cache definition for the given method, based on an annotation type understood by this parser.
    This essentially parses a known cache annotation into Spring's metadata attribute class. Returns null if the method is not cacheable.
    Parameters:
    method - the annotated method
    Returns:
    the configured caching operation, or null if none found
