4 Referencing Caches in Deployed Applications

This section describes how to create service bindings to caches in Oracle Application Container Cloud Service.

Reference a Cache During Application Deployment

Specifying a cache service for your application during deployment is recommended.

Deploying an application to Oracle Application Container Cloud Service is fully described in Creating an Application in Using Oracle Application Container Cloud Service.

When you select a cache service during deployment, the corresponding CACHING_INTERNAL_CACHE_URL environment variable is automatically added to the Environment Variables list. See The Cache URL Environment Variable.

Reference a Cache After Application Deployment

To reference a cache service in an already application deployed, you use a service binding.

Service bindings are fully described in Managing Service Bindings in Using Oracle Application Container Cloud Service, and The Cache URL Environment Variable.
