Installing Coherence
The Installing Coherence section is targeted at software developers and architects. It provides detailed technical information for installing, configuring, developing with, and finally deploying Oracle Coherence.
For ease-of-reading, the documentation uses only the most basic formatting conventions. Code elements and file contents are printed with a fixed-width font. Multi-line code segments are also color-coded for easier reading.
Oracle Coherence is a JCache-compliant in-memory caching and data management solution for clustered Java EE applications and application servers. Coherence makes sharing and managing data in a cluster as simple as on a single server. It accomplishes this by coordinating updates to the data using clusterwide concurrency control, replicating and distributing data modifications across the cluster using the highest performing clustered protocol available, and delivering notifications of data modifications to any servers that request them. Developers can easily take advantage of Coherence features using the standard Java collections API to access and modify data, and use the standard JavaBean event model to receive data change notifications.
