That page is full of examples, and I put in links to the javadoc that defines all the properties supported by all the factory beans.

I don’t think it contradicts anything I said, unless it's not clear that "the one that does no caching" obviously isn't doing that.

We just need more material at the top that focuses on what matters, and leave the Reference sections to include the advanced stuff, but it may be useful to start color coding the table cells with red or something for things that are likely advanced and worth ignoring.
