This chapter describes how to install and set up your environment for running Oracle JDeveloper Studio Edition 11g and Oracle Coherence Release 3.5. This chapter contains the following sections:
This chapter assumes that you have the privileges to install software and set system environment variables as the oracle user, an understanding of how to use a terminal window, including setting environment variables, and creating and moving between directories. It also assumes that you have a working installation of Java SE (JDK) version 1.6.
This chapter also assumes that you are running one of the following Microsoft Windows operating systems: XP, Vista, 2000, 2003, or 2008.
To download and install Oracle Coherence:
Download Oracle Coherence to your desktop.
Coherence (Java edition) ships as a single zip file, typically called coherence-<
version>.zip
. You can obtain Coherence from the following URL:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/coherence/index.html
Extract the contents of the zip file to a directory named C:\oracle\product
.
The zip file contains the coherence directory with these subdirectories:
bin
—contains command scripts
lib
—contains the required library files
examples
— contains the example code
doc
—contains the product documentation
To download and Install Oracle JDeveloper Studio Edition 11g:
Download Oracle JDeveloper Studio.
You can obtain JDeveloper Studio 11g from the following URL:
Run the JDeveloper Studio installer.
Follow the prompts in the installation screens. If the installer asks for a Middleware Home, enter C:\oracle\product
if it does not exist.
If you are asked for a User Role when JDeveloper starts, select Default Role to enable all technologies.
In this exercise, you test whether your Coherence installation can cluster Java processes. This ensures that Coherence-based applications that ship with Coherence will run as expected. If Coherence is not capable of clustering on a single machine, then you must reconfigure your network and firewall settings.
This exercise assumes that you have installed Oracle Coherence (Java Edition) Release 3.5 (See "Downloading and Installing Coherence").
Coherence uses a variety of network addresses and ports to enable communication between clustered processes. If these addresses and/or ports are unavailable due to other applications using them, or because of a firewall, then Coherence may be unreliable, may fail to cluster, or may not work at all. By default, Coherence assumes that the network addresses and ports listed in Table 1-1 are available:
Table 1-1 Network Addresses and Ports Used by Coherence

Inter-process communication between cluster members. ( |
Coherence ships with two simple command-line (shell-based) applications that can be used to determine whether Coherence operates correctly.
The "cache server," is a simple application that hosts and manages data on behalf of other applications in a cluster.
The "coherence shell," is a simple application that enables a developer to access, process, and update cached data within a cluster. It also provides informaiton about the cluster. By executing these applications on either a single host or several hosts, you can determine whether Coherence is operating correctly locally or across a network.
When an application uses Coherence out-of-the-box, objects placed into Coherence caches are typically stored and managed in-process within the application. However, to increase the availability of the objects, Coherence may manage objects in-memory but out of the application process. This allows objects to survive possible application outages (either deliberate or accidental). To manage objects in this way, Coherence uses "cache servers". The purpose of a Coherence cache server is to manage application state in a cluster outside the application process. It is much like a database server, but without the requirement for storage.
To set up and run the cache server and client:
Open a terminal window and verify that the PATH
environment variable is set to include the Java JDK (for example, \oracle\product\jdk160_05\bin
). If the PATH
environment variable does not include jdk\jdk160_05\bin
directory, then set the variable as follows:
Set the JAVA_HOME
environment variable to the base of the JDK installation.
set JAVA_HOME=\oracle\product\jdk160_05
Include JAVA_HOME\bin
in the PATH
environment variable.
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
Navigate to the directory where Coherence is installed. Edit cache-server.cmd
and set the COHERENCE_HOME
variable to point to the Coherence installation directory.
cd C:\oracle\product\coherence\bin
In cache-server.cmd
, set the COHERENCE_HOME
environment variable:
COHERENCE_HOME=C:\oracle\product\coherence
Save cache-server.cmd
and close the file.
Example 1-1 illustrates cache-server.cmd
with the edited value of COHERENCE_HOME
.

Execute the cache server application that is located in the coherence\bin
directory.
C:\oracle\product\coherence\bin>cache-server.cmd
When you start the first cache server, there is a slight delay because the cache server looks for an existing cluster. When it determines that there are no clusters to join, it starts one. On startup, the cache server produces output similar to the text in Example 1-2.
Several important features are highlighted in the example:
the Java JDK version number: java version "1.6.0_05"
information about how configuration files are loaded. The default is to load from JAR: Loaded operational configuration from resource "jar:file:/C:/oracle/product/coherence/lib/coherence.jar!/tangosol-coherence.xml"
the Coherence release number: Oracle Coherence Version 3.5/453
the multicast address. This address changes with each Coherence version. Note the 3.5.0
in the address for Coherence Release 3.5: Group{Address=224.3.5.0, Port=35450, TTL=4}
the Member Id indicates the number of members in your cluster. For the purposes of this exercise, the value should be 1. ThisMember=Member(Id=1 ...

Note:
By default, Coherence is configured to use multicast to attempt to join a cluster and to distribute cluster events. Multicast can also be used to distribute a message efficiently to more than one other node of the cluster. Coherence can be configured so that it does not use multicast.The output of cache-server.cmd
indicates whether you have one or more members in your cluster. The value of Member
Id
should be equal to 1:
...
In MasterMemberSet
ThisMember=Member(Id should be equal to 1)
...
If Member
Id
is greater than 1, then multiple clusters are being formed in your subnet. For the purposes of these exercises, there should only be one member in the cluster. Follow the steps in "Restricting Coherence to Your Own Host" to restrict Coherence to your own host.
Open another terminal window to start the cache client.
Verify that the PATH
environment variable is set to include \oracle\product\jdk160_05\bin
. If the PATH
environment variable does not include the jdk160_05\bin
directory, then set the variable as follows:
Set the JAVA_HOME
environment variable to the base of the JDK installation.
set JAVA_HOME=\oracle\product\jdk160_05
Include JAVA_HOME\bin
in the PATH
environment variable.
set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
Navigate to the \oracle\product\coherence\bin
directory. Edit coherence.cmd
and set the COHERENCE_HOME
variable to point to the Coherence installation directory. Save and close the file.
Example 1-3 illustrates the coherence.cmd
file, with COHERENCE_HOME=\oracle\product\coherence
.

Exercise the client application by executing the following Coherence commands in the Coherence shell:
Enter help
to see the list of commands that are available.
Enter cache mycache
.
The cache mycache
implements the com.tangosol.net.NamedCache
interface. Each NamedCache
can be thought of as a table. A cluster can have many named caches. Each NamedCache
holds one type of object. It can be a simple object, such as a String, or a complex object that you define.
Example 1-5 illustrates that using the default configuration files (coherence-cache-config.xml
) within the supplied coherence.jar
file, a NamedCache
called mycache
is created using the distributed scheme:

If you terminate each of the Coherence shells (bye
), and then restart them, note that data from the previous session still available. This is because the data is held in the cache server.
If you start another Coherence cache server, and then terminate the initial one that was started (using Ctrl+C
or by closing the command window), note that the data is still available.
Terminate both the coherence.cmd
shells and cache-server.cmd
. Start coherence.cmd
. Create a NamedCache
called test
using cachetest
. Try to put in a value as before and note the results.
Start a cache server by running the cache-server.cmd
file from the coherence\bin
directory. Try to put in a value again and note the results.
Terminate all the cache servers.
If the value of Member ID in the cache-server.cmd
output is anything other than 1, then this indicates that the cache server has clustered with one or more other cache servers or processes running Coherence. These servers or processes may be running on the network or running locally on your host. Though this is the default behavior for Coherence—to cluster with other processes running Coherence locally or on a network—it is strongly advised, while you perform this tutorial, that you restrict Coherence to your own host.
The output of cache-server.cmd
indicates whether you have just one member in your cluster. The value of Member ID should be equal to 1:
...
In MasterMemberSet
ThisMember=Member(Id should be equal to 1)
...
If Member ID is greater than 1, it means that multiple clusters are being formed in your subnet. For the purposes of the exercises in this document, there should only be one member in the cluster.
To restrict Coherence to your own host:
Stop cache server by pressing Ctrl
+
C
.
Create a directory called backup
under oracle\product\coherence\lib
.
cd C:\oracle\product\coherence\lib mkdir backup
Copy coherence.jar
from the oracle\product\coherence\lib
directory to the backup
directory.
cp coherence.jar C:\oracle\product\coherence\lib\backup\coherence.jar
Navigate to the oracle\product\coherence\lib\backup
directory.
Extract tangosol-coherence.xml
from coherence.jar
.
jar -xvf coherence.jar tangosol-coherence.xml
Edit the tangosol-coherence.xml
file.
Change the multicast listener port to a unique value, for example, 34408
. Be sure that your multicast listener port value that you are setting is unique. For example, if you share the port value 34407
with another user, then change your port value to 34408 and the other user can change to 34409
. When you are finished, save the file and quit the editor.
Example 1-7 illustrates the multicast-listener
fragment of tangosol-coherence.xml
with its original port value of 34407
.
Example 1-7 Multicast-Listener Fragment of tangosol-coherence.xml File
...
<multicast-listener>
<address system-property="tangosol.coherence.clusteraddress">224.3.4.1</address>
<port system-property="tangosol.coherence.clusterport">34407</port>
<!--
Note: For production use, this value should be set to the lowest integer
value that works. On a single server cluster, it should work at "0"; on
a simple switched backbone, it should work at "1"; on an advanced backbone
with intelligent switching, it may require a value of "2" or more. Setting
the value too high can utilize unnecessary bandwidth on other LAN segments
and can even cause the OS or network devices to disable multicast traffic.
-->
<time-to-live system-property="tangosol.coherence.ttl">4</time-to-live>
Append the modified tangosol-coherence.xml
file to coherence.jar
in the backup
directory. Replace coherence.jar
in the lib
directory with the one in the backup
directory.
jar -uvf coherence.jar tangosol-coherence.xml cp coherence.jar \oracle\product\coherence\lib\coherence.jar
When you execute cache-server.cmd
, you should be able to view the modified port. Also, your cluster should now be restricted to your own host. If Membership ID still displays something other than 1
, then there may be additional issues with the installation. See "Advanced Steps to Restrict Coherence to Your Own Host" for more information.
If you follow the steps in the previous section and cache-server.cmd
still fails to return a Member Id value of 1, then there may be additional issues you must resolve.
Disconnect from the network or disable networking on your host. If errors or exceptions occur when starting the cache server, your network settings might need to be modified. Try each of the following one at a time, restarting the cache server between each attempt:
If connected to a VPN, disconnect from it. By default, most VPN networks are not configured to permit multicast and some unicast traffic. In this environment, Coherence may not work as it is configured out-of-the-box. Coherence can be configured to run across a VPN, but this requires some advanced settings.
If you run a firewall, configure it to allow the specified addresses and ports.
If you still experience problems, unplug or disconnect from all the networks. This includes wireless and wired networks.
If all the preceding options fail, set up Coherence to run on a single host.
