The following topics introduce the new and changed features of Oracle Coherence and other significant changes that are described in this guide, and provides pointers to additional information.
Oracle Coherence 12c (12.1.3) includes the following new and changed features for this document.
Tutorial for JCache, which shows you how to use Coherence with JCache, the Java standard APIs for caching on the Java platform. The key Coherence files which support JCache are cache-api.jar
and coherence-jcache.jar
. The cache-api.jar
file contains the JCache libraries. The coherence-jcache.jar
file contains the Coherence implementation which is built on top of the JCache library. See Chapter 12, "Working with JCache."
An appendix has been added describing the basic features, security, and events examples that are delivered with the Coherence distribution in the examples.zip
file. These examples (in the Java, C++, and .NET languages) are designed to be built and run on the command line. See Appendix A, "Coherence Examples in the examples.zip File."
For 12c (12.1.3), this guide has been updated in several ways. Following are the sections that have been added or changed.
Revised all of the tutorials in the tutorial to use Coherence 12c (12.1.3).
Revised the Coherence and JPA tutorial to use the Oracle 12c database instead of the Oracle XE database. It has also been revised to use EclipseLink 2.5.x, TopLink Grid 12c (12.1.3), and the Java Persistence 2.2.0.0 files. See Chapter 8, "Using JPA with Coherence."
Revised the tutorial to use the Oracle 12c database instead of the Oracle XE database. It has also been revised to create and configure an Oracle Coherence cache in Eclipse to use EclipseLink 2.5.x, TopLink Grid 12c (12.1.3), and the Java Persistence 2.2.0.0 files. See Chapter 9, "Interacting with the Cache and the Database."
Revised the session caching and managed WebLogic Servers tutorial to use WebLogic Server 12c (12.1.3). See Chapter 13, "Caching Sessions with Managed Coherence Servers."
