4 Installing Coherence*Web to an Application Server

Coherence*Web is an HTTP session management module dedicated to managing session state in clustered environments. Built on top of Oracle Coherence, Coherence*Web brings Coherence data grid's data scalability, availability, reliability, and performance to in-memory session management and storage.

Coherence*Web can be deployed to many mainstream application servers such as Oracle GlassFish Server, Oracle WebLogic Server, IBM WebSphere, Tomcat, and so on. For a complete list of supported application servers, see "Supported Web Containers" in Administering HTTP Session Management with Oracle Coherence*Web.

4.1 Installing Coherence*Web with WebLogic Server

All of the files which support Coherence*Web are included with the Coherence distribution. If you are using WebLogic Server, then you can install WebLogic Server and Coherence simultaneously. See Installing and Configuring Oracle WebLogic Server and Coherence for more information.

Once you have installed WebLogic Server and Coherence, you can integrate your applications with Coherence*Web without any further configuration. See "Using Coherence*Web with WebLogic Server" in Administering HTTP Session Management with Oracle Coherence*Web.

4.2 Installing Coherence*Web with Other Application Servers

If you are using another application server, such as Oracle GlassFish Server, Oracle WebLogic Server, IBM WebSphere, Tomcat, and so on, you can install Coherence as described in Installing Oracle Coherence for Java. The Coherence*Web files are included in the distribution. However, you must then complete some post-installation steps to integrate Coherence*Web with your applications.
