How can I access Coherence cache from a C++ application?

The attached example consists of two basic components, one written in Java and the other written in C+, and demonstrates how to access Coherence cache from a C+ application through JNI. The sources found in the src\java directory contain a very simple value object implementation (Account). The sources found in the src\cpp directory contain a simple C++ command line application that populates and accesses a clustered Coherence cache via JNI.

This information is also included in the README.txt file in the attached archive.

C++ to Coherence Example using JNI

This example demonstrates how to access Coherence cache from a C++ application.

Prerequisites

To build the example, you must have the following software installed:

• J2SE SDK 1.4 or later (http://java.sun.com/)
• gcc compiler
  build.sh assumes gcc/linux, but this example will also work on other platforms such as Windows.
• Oracle Coherence 3.3.1 (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/coherence/index.html)

Build Instructions

1. Update set-env.cmd to reflect your system environment.
2. Open a shell and execute the following command in the cppclient directory:
   ./build.sh

Running the Example

1. Start the Coherence cluster by executing the following script:
   ./runserver.sh
2. Start the example C++ client application by executing the following script:
   ./runcppclient.sh
