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. This document is the new edition of the formerly titled Oracle Coherence Tutorial for Oracle Coherence.
Oracle Coherence 12c (12.1.2) includes the following new and changed features for this document.
Tutorial for Live Events, which shows you how to use the Coherence Live Events framework. This framework allows your applications to react to operations performed in the data grid. The framework uses an event-based model where events represent observable occurrences of cluster operations. The supported events include partitioned service, cache, and application events. See Chapter 11, "Working with Live Events."
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 (12.1.2), this guide has been updated in several ways. Following are the sections that have been added or changed.
