6.2 Obtaining the Examples

The Coherence examples are included in the coherence_version.jar or wls_version.jar installer file.

The Coherence examples appear as an installation option in the Oracle Universal Installer and are installed to COHERENCE_HOME/examples.

If you installed Coherence using coherence_quick_version.jar, you can obtain the examples by running the coherence_quick_supp_version.jar supplemental installer file. The supplemental installer contains only API documentation and examples. Note that the coherence_quick_version.jar quick installer file does not install the examples or API documentation.

6.3 How to Build the Examples

The Coherence examples’ source files must be built using the scripts in the examples directory. Scripts are provided for the Java, C++, and .NET (C#) programming languages.

Note:

You must build and run the Java example even for C++ and .NET. This is because the cache server runs in Java.

This section contains the following topics:

• How to Build the Java Examples
  
• How to Build the .NET Examples
  
• How to Build the C++ Examples
  

6.3.1 How to Build the Java Examples

This section contains the following topics:

• Prerequisites for Java
  
• Directory Structure for Java
  
• Build Instructions for Java
  

6.3.1.1 Prerequisites for Java

To build the example, you must have Coherence and a Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.8 or later. Ensure that the following environment variables are set.

Environment Variable	Description
$COHERENCE_HOME	Make sure that the COHERENCE_HOME environment variable points to the location of the Coherence installation directory.
$JAVA_HOME	Make sure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the location of a 1.8 or greater JDK before building the example. A Java runtime 1.8 or greater is needed to run the example

6.3.1.2 Directory Structure for Java

The directory structure described below is relative to the examples directory.

Table 6-8 Directory Structure for Java

Directory Name	Description
java/bin	Scripts for building and executing the example. There are two sets of scripts. Scripts with no file extension are bash scripts. Scripts with a .cmd file extension are Windows command scripts. The following description refers to the script names without specifying the file extension. build—builds an example
java/src	All example source. The examples are in the com.tangosol.examples.<example name> package. The classes for objects stored in the cache are in the com.tangosol.examples.pof package.
java/classes	The class files output from a build. This directory will not exist until the build script is executed.
java/resource/config	The common Coherence configuration files required by the examples.
java/resource/<example name>	If an example has configuration that is required instead of the common configuration, it will have its own directory. The security example uses configuration files from java/resource/security.
$COHERENCE_HOME/lib	Coherence libraries used for compiling and running the example.

6.3.1.3 Build Instructions for Java

Execute the build script with the name of the example collection:

• bin/build contacts

• bin/build security

• bin/build events

• bin/build java8

• bin/build async

• bin/build federation

• bin/build persistence

The script builds the POF package files and then the files for the particular example. The contacts example is required for the other examples and should always be built first.

On Windows, change directories to the /bin directory then run the scripts.

6.3.2 How to Build the .NET Examples

This section contains the following topics:

• Prerequisites for .NET
  
• Directory Structure for .NET
  
• Build Instructions for .NET
  

6.3.2.1 Prerequisites for .NET

To build the example, you must have Coherence for .NET and Visual Studio 2008 or later or Visual Studio 2008 Express or later. See Prerequisites.

To run the example, you will need the Java version of Coherence and a Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.8 or greater. The Java version is required because the Coherence*Extend proxy and cache servers require Java. Also, the examples depend on Java example classes that must be built before running the proxy and cache server. See the Java example readme.txt file for instructions on how to build and run.

6.3.2.2 Directory Structure for .NET

The directory structure described below is relative to the examples directory.

Table 6-9 Directory Structure for .NET

Directory Name	Description
dotnet\src	All example source. The examples are in the Tangosol.Examples.<example name> namespace. The classes for objects stored in the cache are in the Tangosol.Examples.Pof namespace. The examples are in the Visual Studio 2008 examples solution. Each example has its own Visual Studio 2008 project in the src directory. For example, src contains projects for the contacts and security examples. The Coherence configuration files required by the example.
src\pof\config	The common Coherence configuration files required by the examples.
src\<example name>\config	If an example has configuration that is required instead of the common configuration, it will have its own directory. The security example uses configuration files from security\config.

6.3.2.3 Build Instructions for .NET

Open the examples project from the examples\dotnet\src\contacts.csproj directory with Visual Studio

When installing Coherence for the .NET Framework, the installer registers the coherence.dll library with the assembly registry. The included Visual Studio projects have a reference to coherence.dll in the default location. If another version of the library is desired, or it was not installed in the default location, the Coherence reference can be overridden when configuring the reference, be sure to set the local copy attribute to true. This setting will copy and register the correct coherence.dll in the bin\debug directory.

After Coherence for .NET is configured, in Visual Studio select Build then Build Solution from the menu, Build Solution (F6), etc., to build the solution.

The build for the contacts example will copy resource\contacts.csv to the build output directory (examples\dotnet\src\bin\Debug).

6.3.3 How to Build the C++ Examples

This section contains the following topics:

• Prerequisites for C++
  
• Directory Structure for C++
  
• Build Instructions for C++
  

6.3.3.1 Prerequisites for C++

To run the examples, you will need the Java version of Coherence and a Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.8 or greater. The Java version is required because the Coherence*Extend proxy and cache servers require Java. Also, the examples depend on Java example classes that must be built before running the proxy and cache server. See the Java examples readme.txt for instructions on how to build and run.

Ensure that the following environment variables are set:

Environment Variable	Description
%COHERENCE_HOME%	Make sure that the COHERENCE_HOME environment variable points to the location of the unpacked Coherence directory.
%JAVA_HOME%	Make sure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the location of a 1.8 or greater JDK before building the examples. A Java runtime 1.8 or greater is needed to run the examples.
%COHERENCE_CPP_HOME%	Make sure that the COHERENCE_CPP_HOME environment variable points to the location of the unpacked C++ development environment. Compiler environments supported.

6.3.3.2 Directory Structure for C++

The directory structure described below is relative to the examples directory.

Table 6-10 Directory Structure for C++

Directory Name	Description
cpp\bin	Scripts for building and executing the examples. Scripts with no file extension are bash scripts. Scripts with a .cmd file extension are Windows command scripts. The following description refers to the script names without specifying any file extension.
cpp	All example source organized under the <example name> (such as contacts and security) and pof directories.
cpp\contacts	The contacts example source. The examples are in the coherence::examples namespace. The next level of the name after examples represents a related set of example classes. "Driver" in coherence::examples::LoaderExample is the Loader for the contacts example. In other words, the name of the example is the name after coherence::examples.
cpp\security	The security example source. The examples are in the coherence::examples namespace.
cpp\pof	The data model is represented in this directory plus any classes that are serialized. The rationale is to show how to utilize an already existing data model and expose it in Coherence. The model classes do not contain any Coherence-specific code to prove this point. However, there is a serializer that is associated with each model type. For example the Contact has a ContactSerializer class whose purpose is to register the model type with Coherence and serialization operations. The generated output will be in the form of a dynamic library.
cpp\config	The common Coherence configuration files required by the examples.
cpp\config\<example name>	If an example has configuration that is required instead of the common configuration, it will have its own directory. The security example uses configuration files from config/security.
cpp\<example name>\out	The object files output from a build. This directory will not exist until the build script is executed.
%COHERENCE_CPP_HOME%\include	Contains the Coherence header files.
%COHERENCE_CPP_HOME%\lib	Contains the Coherence library.

6.3.3.3 Build Instructions for C++

This section contains the following information:

Build Instructions for C++ on Windows

Open a development environment command prompt. This should have been installed with Visual Studio or the platform SDK. Go to the C++ examples directory and type bin\build.cmd <example name>. This will build both the pof (model) and the example executable. For example, bin\build.cmd contacts or bin\build.cmd security

The model will put the pof.lib and pof.dll file under cpp\pof\out. These are needed for building and running the contacts and security examples.

The executable contacts.exe will be generated in cpp\contacts\out directory. The executable security.exe will be generated in cpp\security\out directory.

To run the contacts example, type bin\run.cmd contacts after starting a proxy server and cache servers: bin/run-cache-server. The cache server also runs a proxy service which allows connections from Coherence*Extend clients.

As an alternative, in any command window you can cd to the C++ bin directory and run vcvars32.bat before trying to build the examples. With a default install of Visual Studio, the bin directory is C:\Program Files\Mircorsoft Visual Studio 9.0\vc\bin. Follow the previous instructions for running the build script.

Build Instructions for C++ on Linux/Mac and Solaris

Open a command shell. Go to the C++ examples directory and type bin/build <example name>. This will build both the pof (model) and the contacts examples executable.

The model dynamic library and lib file will be put in cpp/pof/out. These are needed for building and running the contacts and security examples.

The executable contacts, will be generated in cpp/contacts/out or cpp/security/out.

6.4 How to Run the Examples

The Coherence examples are run using the scripts in the examples directory. Scripts are provided for the Java, C++, and .NET (C#) programming languages.

Note:

The Coherence examples are distributed as source, so they must first be built. See How to Build the Examples.

This section contains the following topics:

resource	The data file used for the contacts LoaderExample: contacts.csv.

6.4.1.3 Instructions for Java

Execute the run script for each example.

contacts example

1. Start one or more cache servers: bin/run-cache-server. Each execution starts a cache server cluster node. To add additional nodes, execute the command in a new command shell.

2. In a new command shell, run with the name of the example: bin/run contacts. The Driver.main method runs through the features of the example with output going to the command window (stdout).

Starting with Coherence 12.1.2, an example of the new Query Language feature was added. This example shows how to configure and use a simple helper class FilterFactory using the Coherence InvocationService.

security example

The security example requires Coherence*Extend, which uses a proxy.

1. Start one or more cache servers: bin/run-cache-server security. The cache server also runs a proxy service which allows connections from Coherence*Extend clients.

2. In a new command shell, run with the name of the example: bin/run security. The Driver.main method runs through the features of the example with output going to the command window (stdout).

live events example

1. Start at least two cache servers: bin/run-cache-server events. Each execution starts a cache server cluster node. To add additional nodes, execute the command in a new command shell.

2. In a new command shell, run with the name of the example: bin/run events. The Driver.main method runs through the features of the example with output going to the command window (stdout).

Java 8 features example

1. Start a cache server: bin/run-cache-server.

2. In a new command shell, run with the name of the example: bin/run java8. The Driver.main method runs through the features of the example with output going to the command window (stdout). Inspect the output and refer to the code at src/com/tangosol/examples/java8.

asynchronous features example

1. Start a cache server: bin/run-cache-server.

2. In a new command shell, run with the name of the example: bin/run async. The Driver.main method runs through the features of the example with output going to the command window (stdout). Inspect the output and refer to the code at src/com/tangosol/examples/async.

federated caching example

1. Start ClusterA using: bin/run-cache-server federation ClusterA.

2. In a new command shell, start ClusterB using: bin/run-cache-server federation ClusterB.

3. Run the following to start a GUI which connects to ClusterA: bin/run federation ClusterA. Use the cohql or console argument to use CohQL or the console instead of a GUI.

4. Run the following to start a GUI which connects to ClusterB: bin/run federation ClusterB. Use the cohql or console argument to use CohQL or the console instead of a GUI.

5. Add objects to a cluster and observe that the objects are being replicated to the other cluster.

6. Remove objects from a cluster and observe that the objects are being removed from the other cluster.

The example above uses standard TCP connections between clusters. The example can also be configured to use SSL. SSL allows connections between clusters to be encrypted and ensures only authorized clusters can exchange information by using two-way authentication.

Note:

The SSL configuration uses self signed certificates and obvious passwords. You should follow security best practices and refer to the Coherence security documentation to configure this for production environments.

SSL configuration requires:

• Generating keystores for each of the clusters

• Creating SSL certificates for each cluster

• Importing the certificates into a trust store that ensure only authorized members can communicate.

Note:

For windows environments, make sure you use %JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool.

To configure SSL for the federation examples:

1. Generate Keystores for ClusterA and ClusterB

   cd $COHERENCE_HOME/examples/java/classes
   
   $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkeypair -dname "cn=ClusterA, ou=Coherence, o=Oracle,
      c=US" -alias ClusterA -keypass password -keystore ClusterA-keystore.jks
      -storepass password
   
   $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkeypair -dname "cn=ClusterB, ou=Coherence, o=Oracle,
      c=US" -alias ClusterB -keypass password -keystore ClusterB-keystore.jks
      -storepass password
   

2. Export certificates from each store:

   $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -export -alias ClusterA -storepass password -file
      ClusterA.cer -keystore ClusterA-keystore.jks
   
   $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -export -alias ClusterB -storepass password -file
      ClusterB.cer -keystore ClusterB-keystore.jks
   

3. Import both certificates into the trust store that defines which clusters can connect.

   $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -import -v -trustcacerts -alias ClusterA -file
      ClusterA.cer -keystore trust.jks -storepass password
   
   $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -import -v -trustcacerts -alias ClusterB -file
      ClusterB.cer -keystore trust.jks -storepass password
   

   Enter 'yes' for both of the above to confirm importing the certificates.

4. Validate the entries in the trust store using:

   $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -list -keystore trust.jks -storepass password
   

Once the above has been completed, the classes directory contains the following:

• trust.jks – keystore containing the ClusterA and ClusterB certificates

• ClusterA.jks – keystore containing the ClusterA private key

• ClusterB.jks – keystore containing the ClusterB private key

Re-run the examples and set the SSL environment variable in each command prompt window.

SET SSL=true (Windows)

export SSL=true (Unix)

In the cache server log files, notice that the connection is now tmbs (TCP Message Bus over SSL):

Connecting to service FederatedPartitionedPofCache at participant ClusterB with
address tmbs://127.0.0.1:56217.39550

Note:

Removing a certificate from the trust store disables communication to that member and simulates an unauthorized communication.

When you have completed running the Federation examples with SSL, make sure to unset the SSL environment variable if you are going to run other examples.

persistence example

1. start one or more cache servers: bin/run-cache-server persistence

2. In a new command shell, run the persistence example: bin/run persistence. The Driver.main method will run through the features of the example with output going to the command window (stdout).

3. Start the notification listener: bin/run persistence notifications.

4. Run the persistence example: bin/run persistence. Output is emitted that indicates that Persistence operations are being completed

5. Use CTRL+C to interrupt the notifications listener.

6. Run the persistence parallel example: bin/run persistence parallel. The Driver.main method will run through the features of the example with output going to the command window (stdout).

7. Download the JSch library jsch-0.1.51.jar or later and extract the contents into the classes directory.

8. Build the archiver example: bin/build archiver.

9. Update the resource/archiver/tangosol-coherence-override.xml file and modify the third parameter for the custom archiver and replace the username, password and path to the location of a machine running SSH. If you have ssh equivalence setup to your machine, you can omit the password. You may also consider using a system property to hide your password if one is required.

10. Run the archive example: bin/run archiver.

11. Inspect the remote SFTP machine to see the archive directory.

6.5.5 Loader Example

This example loads contacts into the cache from a file or stream.

It demonstrates the most effective way of inserting data into a cache using bulk inserts. This will allow for minimizing the number of network roundtrips between the application and the cache.

Java

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.contacts.LoaderExample in java/src

cache.putAll(mapBatch);

.NET

Implementation Class: LoaderExample in namespace Tangosol.Examples.Contacts in dotnet/src/contacts

cache.InsertAll(dictBatch);

C++

Implementation Class: LoaderExample in namespace coherence::examples in cpp/contacts

hCache->putAll(hMapBatch);

Example Output

Example 6-2 Example Output

.........Added 10000 entries to cache

6.5.6 Query Example

QueryExample runs sample queries for contacts.

The purpose of this example is to show how to create Extractors on cache data and how to create a KeyExtractor for the cache keys. It also illustrates how to use the indexes to filter the dataset to efficiently create a matching set. Finally, the example demonstrates how to use some of the built-in cache aggregators to do simple computational tasks on the cache data. A subset of the code is shown below.

Java

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.contacts.QueryExample in java/src

• Add an index to make queries more efficient.

  cache.addIndex(new ChainedExtractor("getHomeAddress.getState"), /*fOrdered*/ false, /*comparator*/ null);
  

• Find all contacts who live in Massachusetts.

  Set setResults = cache.entrySet(new EqualsFilter("getHomeAddress.getState", "MA"));
  

• Count contacts who are older than nAge for the entire cache dataset.

  System.out.println("count > " + nAge + ": " + cache.aggregate(new GreaterFilter("getAge", nAge), new Count()));

.NET

Implementation Class: QueryExample in namespace Tangosol.Examples.Contacts in dotnet/src/contacts

• Add an index to make queries more efficient.

  cache.AddIndex(new ChainedExtractor("getHomeAddress.getState"),/*fOrdered*/ false, /*comparator*/ null);
  

• Find all contacts who live in Massachusetts.

  ICacheEntry[] aCacheEntry = cache.GetEntries(new EqualsFilter("getHomeAddress.getState", "MA"));
  

• Count contacts who are older than nAge for the entire cache dataset.

  Console.WriteLine("count > " + nAge + ": "+ cache.Aggregate(new GreaterFilter("getAge", nAge), new
  Count()));

C++

Implementation Class: QueryExample in namespace coherence::examples in cpp/contacts

• Add an index to make queries more efficient.

  ValueExtractor::View vHomeStateExtractor = ChainedExtractor::create(
  ChainedExtractor::createExtractors("getHomeAddress.getState"));
  

• Find all contacts who live in Massachusetts.

  Object::View voStateName = String::create("MA");
  Set::View setResults = hCache->entrySet(
  EqualsFilter::create(vHomeStateExtractor, voStateName));
  

• Count contacts who are older than nAge for the entire cache dataset.

  Integer32::View nAge = Integer32::valueOf(58);
  Object::View vResult = hCache->aggregate( (Filter::View) GreaterFilter::create(vAgeExtractor, nAge), Count::create());
  std::cout << "count > " << nAge->getValue() << ": " << vResult << std::endl;

Example Output

The example output is large due to 10,000 contacts and several queries. A sample of the query for Massachusetts residents:

6.5.7 Observer Example

ObserverExample demonstrates how to use a MapListener to monitor cache events such as when cache data has been inserted, updated, and removed. There is no immediate output when this example is run. The registered listener outputs the entry when it is inserted, updated, and deleted. For an update, it outputs both the old value and the new value. The changes to entries are caused by running the Basic Data Access Example and the Processor Example, so the output happens when those examples are run.

A subset of the code is shown below.

Java

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.contacts.ObserverExample in java/src

• ContactChangeListener is a class that implements the MapListener interface.

  cache.addMapListener(new ContactChangeListener());

.NET

Implementation Class: ObserverExample in namespace Tangosol.Examples.Contacts in dotnet/src/contacts

• ContactChangeListener is a class that implements the ICacheListener interface.

  cache.AddCacheListener(new ContactChangeListener());

C++

Implementation Class: ObserverExample in namespace coherence::examples in cpp/contacts

• ContactChangeListener is a class that implements the MapListener interface using Coherence implements clause.

  ContactChangeListener::Handle hListener = ContactChangeListener::create();
  hCache->addFilterListener(hListener);
  

• Definition of ContactChangeListener:

  class ContactChangeListener
     : public class_spec<ContactChangeListener,
        extends<Object>, implements <MapListener> >
  

6.5.8 Processor Example

ProcessorExample demonstrates how to use a processor to modify a set of data in the cache. In the code sample that follows, all Contacts who live in MA will have their work address updated.

Java

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.contacts.ProcessorExample in java/src

Helper Class: com.tangosol.examples.contacts.OfficeUpdater in java/src

• Apply the OfficeUpdater on all contacts who live in MA. The OfficeUpdater is a class that implements the InvocableMap.EntryProcessor interface by extending AbstractProcessor.

  cache.invokeAll(new EqualsFilter("getHomeAddress.getState", "MA"), new OfficeUpdater(addrWork));

.NET

Implementation Class: ProcessorExample in namespace Tangosol.Examples.Contacts in dotnet/src/contacts

Helper Class: OfficeUpdater in namespace Tangosol.Examples.Contacts in dotnet/src/contacts

• Apply the OfficeUpdater on all contacts who live in MA. The OfficeUpdater is a class that implements the IEntryProcessor interface by extending AbstractProcessor.

  cache.InvokeAll(new EqualsFilter("getHomeAddress.getState", "MA"), new OfficeUpdater(addrWork));

C++

Implementation Class: ProcessorExample in namespace coherence::examples in cpp/contacts

Helper Class: OfficeUpdater in namespace coherence::examples in cpp/contacts

• The OfficeUpdater is a class that extends the UpdaterProcessor type.

  class OfficeUpdater
  : public class_spec<OfficeUpdater,
  extends<UpdaterProcessor>,
  implements<PortableObject> >
  

• Apply the OfficeUpdater on all contacts who live in MA.

  Filter::View vEqualsFilter = EqualsFilter::create(
  ChainedExtractor::create(ChainedExtractor::createExtractors(
  "getHomeAddress.getState")),
  String::create("MA"));
  InvocableMap::EntryProcessor::Handle hOffice = OfficeUpdater::create(addrWork);
  Map::View vMap = hCache->invokeAll(vEqualsFilter, hOffice);

Example Output

The example Output (due to Observer Example) is large due to the number of contacts. A sample of output:

• Entitled Invocation Service—Wraps an invocation service for access control.

• Entitled Named Cache—Wraps a named cache for access control.

6.6.2 This Example Set

The Coherence security example set gets a cache reference that requires a password an attempts cache and invocation service operations that require different roles.

This section includes the following topics:

• Running the Security Example Set
  
• Understanding the Security Driver File
  

6.6.2.1 Running the Security Example Set

1. Review the following information:

   • How to Build the Examples

   • How to Run the Examples

2. Review the information on the security Driver implementation found in the next section.

6.6.2.2 Understanding the Security Driver File

Has a static main method that executes all the security examples in the following order:

1. PasswordExample

2. AccessControlExample.accessCache()

3. AccessControlExample.accessInvocationService()

Is implemented in each of the three programming languages supported by Coherence:

Language	Implementation Class
Java	com.tangosol.examples.security.Driver in java/src
.NET	Driver in namespace Tangosol.Examples.Security in dotnet/src/security
C++	Driver in namespace coherence::examples in cpp/security

Please refer to this example set's example.zip file for more details on each of the examples outlined below.

6.6.3 Password Example

This example shows how a Coherence Proxy can require a password to get a reference to a cache.

Java

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.security.PasswordExample in java/src

The code logs in to get a Subject, and then tries to get a cache reference running in the context of the Subject.

The Password Identity Transformer will generate a security token that contains the password. The Password Identity Asserter (running in the proxy) will validate the security token to enforce the password. The token generation and validation occurs automatically when a connection to the proxy is made.

.NET

Implementation Class: PasswordExample in namespace Tangosol.Example.Security in dotnet/src/security

The code logs in to get a Principal, and then tries to get a cache reference running in the context of the Principal by making the Principal the Thread's current principal.

The Password Identity Transformer will generate a security token that contains the password. The Password Identity Asserter (running in the proxy) will validate the security token to enforce the password. The token generation and validation occurs automatically when a connection to the proxy is made.

C++

Implementation Class: AccessExample in namespace coherence::examples in cpp/security

The code logs in to get a Subject, and then tries to get a cache reference running in the context of the Subject.

The Password Identity Transformer will generate a security token that contains the password. The Password Identity Asserter (running in the proxy) will validate the security token to enforce the password. The token generation and validation occurs automatically when a connection to the proxy is made.

Example Output

Example 6-6 Example Output of the Password Example

------password example begins------
------password example succeeded------
------password example completed------

6.6.4 Access Control Example

This example shows simplified role-based access control.

Java

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.security.AccessControlExample in java/src

The code logs in to get a Subject with a user-id with a particular role, gets a cache reference running in the context of the Subject, and then tries cache operations. Depending on the role granted to the user, the cache operation is allowed or denied.

Someone with a writer role is allowed to put and get. Someone with a reader role can get but not put. Someone with a writer role cannot destroy a cache. Someone with an admin role can destroy a cache.

Then a user with a particular role tries to use the invocation service. A reader is not allowed to invoke, but a writer is allowed.

Note that once the cache or invocation service reference is created in the context of a Subject, that identity is permanently associated with that reference. Any use of that cache or service reference is on behalf of that identity.

The Password Identity Transformer will generate a security token that contains the password, the user-id, and the roles. The Password Identity Asserter (running in the proxy) will validate the security token to enforce the password, and construct a Subject with the proper user-id and roles.

The production and assertion of the security token happens automatically.

See the Entitled Cache Service, Entitled Invocation Service, and Entitled Named Cache code for the implementation of access control.

.NET

Implementation Class: AccessControlExample in namespace Tangosol.Example.Security in dotnet/src/security

The code logs in to get a Principal with a user-id with a particular role, gets a cache reference running in the context of the Principal, and then tries cache operations. Depending on the role granted to the user, the cache operation is allowed or denied.

Someone with a writer role is allowed to put and get. Someone with a reader role can get but not put. Someone with a writer role cannot destroy a cache. Someone with an admin role can destroy a cache.

Then a user with a particular role tries to use the invocation service. A reader is not allowed to invoke, but a writer is allowed.

Note that once the cache or invocation service reference is created in the context of a Principal, that identity is permanently associated with that reference. Any use of that cache or service reference is on behalf of that identity.

The Password Identity Transformer will generate a security token that contains the password, the user-id, and the roles. The Password Identity Asserter (running in the proxy) will validate the security token to enforce the password, and construct a Subject with the proper user-id and roles.

The production and assertion of the security token happens automatically.

See the Entitled Cache Service, Entitled Invocation Service, and Entitled Named Cache code for the implementation of access control.

C++

Implementation Class: AccessControlExample in namespace coherence::examples in cpp/security

The code logs in to get a Subject with a user-id with a particular role, gets a cache reference running in the context of the Subject, and then tries cache operations. Depending on the role granted to the user, the cache operation is allowed or denied.

6.6.5 Password Identity Transformer

This example shows how an IdentityTransformer produces a security token from an identity.

Java

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.security.PasswordIdentityTransformer in java/src

The code produces a security token that is an array of strings. The first string is the password. The second string is the user-id and subsequent strings are the user's roles. Arrays of strings will be serialized by Coherence*Extend without requiring a custom serializer.

This class will be invoked automatically when the Extend client connects to a proxy or a channel is opened in an existing connection.

.NET

Implementation Class: PasswordIdentityTransformer in namespace Tangosol.Example.Security in dotnet/src/security

The code produces a security token that is an array of strings. The first string is the password. The second string is the user-id and subsequent strings are the user's roles. Arrays of strings will be serialized by Coherence*Extend without requiring a custom serializer.

This class will be invoked automatically when the Extend client connects to a proxy or a channel is opened in an existing connection.

C++

Implementation Class: PasswordIdentityTranfromer in namespace coherence::examples in cpp/security

The code produces a security token that is an array of strings. The first string is the password. The second string is the user-id and subsequent strings are the user's roles. Arrays of strings will be serialized by Coherence*Extend without requiring a custom serializer.

This class will be invoked automatically when the Extend client connects to a proxy or a channel is opened in an existing connection.

6.6.6 Password Identity Asserter

This example shows how an IdentityAsserter validates a security token and produces a Subject from a list of principal names.

Java

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.security.PasswordIdentityAsserter in java/src

The code processes a security token that should be an array of strings. The first string must be the password. Subsequent strings are principals. Any failure processing the token results in a SecurityException that will deny access to the proxy.

.NET

Implementation Class: none

The IdentityAsserter runs only on the proxy (in Java), so it does not run in the .NET client. Therefore, there is no PasswordIdentityAsserter for .NET.

C++

Implementation Class: none

The PasswordIdentityAsserter runs only on the proxy (in Java), so it does not run in the C++ client. Therefore there is no PasswordIdentityAsserter for C++.

6.6.7 Entitled Cache Service

This example shows how a remote cache service can be wrapped to provide access control.

Java

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.security.EntitledCachService in java/src

The code instantiates an Entitled Named Cache that provides access control for cache operations. The code also provides access control for the cache service methods release and destroy. The access control check is delegated to the Security Example Helper.

This class will be instantiated automatically when the cache service is started on the proxy.

.NET

There is no .NET implementation. The class runs only on the proxy in Java.

C++

There is no C++ implementation. The class runs only on the proxy in Java.

6.6.8 Entitled Invocation Service

This example shows how a remote invocation service can be wrapped to provide access control.

Java

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.security.EntitledInvocationService in java/src

Java

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.security.EntitledNamedCache in java/src

The code provides access control for the NamedCache methods. The access control check is delegated to the Security Example Helper.

This class will be instantiated automatically when the cache service is started on the proxy.

.NET

There is no .NET implementation. The class runs only on the proxy in Java.

C++

There is no C++ implementation. The class runs only on the proxy in Java.

6.6.10 Security Example Helper

This example is a helper class for authentication and access control.

Java

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.security.SecurityExampleHelper in java/src

The code simulates authentication. For the sake of simplicity, it creates a Subject. A real implementation would do platform- and company-specific authentication. The login also does simple mapping of user names to roles.

The checkAccess method checks that the operation is allowed by the user's role.

.NET

Implementation Class: SecurityExampleHelper in namespace Tangosol.Example.Security in dotnet/src/security

Is implemented only in the Java programming language:

Language	Implementation Class
Java	com.tangosol.examples.events.Driver in java/src

6.7.3 EventsExamples

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.events.EventsExamples in java/src

The EventsExamples class illustrates various features within Live Events. This includes:

• Providing mean elapsed times split by event type.

• Illustrating the different semantics in throwing exceptions in pre-events compared to post-events.

• Illustrating logging of partition movement when enabled.

The EventsExamples class defines these inner classes:

• EventsTimingExample
  
• VetodEventsExample
  
• RedistributionEventsExample
  

6.7.3.1 EventsTimingExample

The EventsTimingExample inner class is a catalyst for action to be performed by TimedTraceInterceptor. This illustrates how the elapsed time between pre- and post-events can be measured which are inserted into a results cache. The entries inserted into the results cache are displayed by using the stdout of the process executing this class.

The example output:

Example 6-8 Example Output of the EventsTimingExample

Received stats [memberId=2, eventType=INSERTED, sample=1] = EventStats[name = INSERTED, sampleMean = 0.294040ms, mean = 0.294040ms]
Received stats [memberId=3, eventType=INSERTED, sample=1] = EventStats[name = INSERTED, sampleMean = 0.397855ms, mean = 0.397855ms]
Received stats [memberId=1, eventType=INSERTED, sample=1] = EventStats[name = INSERTED, sampleMean = 0.373270ms, mean = 0.373270ms]
Received stats [memberId=3, eventType=UPDATED, sample=1] = EventStats[name = UPDATED, sampleMean = 0.187132ms, mean = 0.187132ms]
Received stats [memberId=2, eventType=UPDATED, sample=1] = EventStats[name = UPDATED, sampleMean = 0.234314ms, mean = 0.234314ms]
Received stats [memberId=1, eventType=UPDATED, sample=1] = EventStats[name = UPDATED, sampleMean = 0.237622ms, mean = 0.237622ms]

6.7.3.2 VetodEventsExample

The VetodEventsExample inner class is a catalyst for action to be performed by CantankerousInterceptor. This illustrates the semantics of throwing exceptions in pre- and post-events. The exceptions that are expected to only be logged are inserted into a results cache. The entries inserted into the results cache are displayed by using the stdout of the process executing this class.

The example output:

Example 6-9 Example Output of the VetodEventsExample

Received event [memberId=3, eventType=NON_VETO, count=1] = Objection falls on deaf ears! value = value: 11
Received event [memberId=3, eventType=NON_VETO, count=2] = Objection falls on deaf ears! value = value: 22
Received event [memberId=3, eventType=NON_VETO, count=3] = Objection falls on deaf ears! value = value: 33
Received event [memberId=3, eventType=NON_VETO, count=4] = Objection falls on deaf ears! value = value: 44

6.7.3.3 RedistributionEventsExample

The RedistributionEventsExample inner class is a catalyst for action to be performed by the RedistributionInterceptor class. This illustrates how partition redistribution events can be logged, by enabling logging in the RedistributionInterceptor and killing a member thus inducing partition redistribution.

The example output:

Example 6-10 Output of the RedistributionEventsExample

Choosing to kill member Member(Id=3, Timestamp=2014-01-02 16:38:17.942, Address=10.159.154.103:8092, MachineId=47251, Location=site:,machine:TPFAEFFL-LAP,process:8168, Role=CoherenceServer)

6.7.4 TimedTraceInterceptor

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.events.TimedTraceInterceptor in java/src

The TimedTraceInterceptor class provides timings between pre- and post-commit events for each type of event; that is, inserts, updates, removes, and entry processor execution. These timings are collected and averaged at a sample rate defined by parameter cSample. Additionally they are output to the log at the same time. This implementation does maintain a strong reference to the each binary key however this is removed upon receiving the post-commit event for the same key.

The interceptor implements the EventInterceptor interface. The @Interceptor annotation provides the unique name of the interceptor with the identifier attribute and the order in which it should be executed (Order.HIGH) with the order attribute.

The interceptor also contains a protected EventTimer inner-class. This class times the elapsed time for each event it is notified of. The interceptor tracks the time between a pre- and post-commit event for each entry and the respective event types (INSERT, UPDATE, REMOVE). The timings are sent to the Coherence log in batches displaying sample and cumulative statistics.

As the generic argument is com.tangosol.net.events.partition.cache.Event, you will only get events that are consumers of that event, that is, EntryEvent and EntryProcessorEvent, without specifying any filtering.

6.7.5 CantankerousInterceptor

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.events.CantankerousInterceptor in java/src

The CantankerousInterceptor class is an EventInterceptor implementation that is argumentative in nature, hence the event of inserting certain keys will result in runtime exceptions at either pre- or post-commit phases.

If the exception is thrown at pre-commit time, then a rollback occurs and the exception is propagated to the client. If the exception occurs at post-commit time, then a log event is recorded. The keys used for the exceptions are VETO and NON-VETO. INSERTING and UPDATING are events that can be vetoed, whereas INSERTED and UPDATED events cannot be vetoed.

6.7.6 RedistributionInterceptor

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.events.RedistributionInterceptor in java/src

The RedistributionInterceptor class is an EventInterceptor that logs partition activity when enabled. Logging can be enabled by setting the RedistributionInvocable.ENABLED constant. See RedistributionInvocable.

6.7.7 RedistributionInvocable

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.pof.RedistributionInvocable in java/src

The RedistributionInvocable class defines three actionable states that will be executed on various members of the cluster. For this example, define the states as follows:

• DISABLE: Disable the logging performed by the RedistributionInterceptor event interceptor.

• ENABLE: Enable the logging performed by the RedistributionInterceptor event interceptor.

• KILL: Terminate the JVM that this invocable (RedistributionInvocable) is executed on.

6.7.8 LazyProcessor

Implementation Class: com.tangosol.examples.pof.LazyProcessor in java/src

The LazyProcessor class creates a superficial delay between the processing of events. The class specifies the number of milliseconds this processor should sleep between processing events. This class will be used by the EventsTimingExample subclass in the EventsExamples class.

6.8 Coherence Java 8 Features Example

6.12.2 Building and Running the Example

The examples are built and run using Maven 3.2.5 or above and require a browser that supports AngularJS 1.4.1 or above.

To build and run the examples:

1. Include the coherence.jar and coherence-rest.jar libraries in the local Maven repository.

   mvn install:install-file -Dfile=COHERENCE_HOME/lib/coherence.jar 
      -DpomFile=COHERENCE_HOME/plugins/maven/com/oracle/coherence/coherence
      /12.2.1/coherence.12.2.1.pom
   
   mvn install:install-file -Dfile=COHERENCE_HOME/lib/coherence-rest.jar 
      -DpomFile=COHERENCE_HOME/plugins/maven/com/oracle/coherence/coherence-rest
      /12.2.1/coherence-rest.12.2.1.pom

   Note:

   You may need to specify the path to your settings.xml file to download the required dependencies. For example:

   mvn -s /path/to/settings.xml ...
   

   If you do not have a settings file and you are using a proxy server for internet access, you can utilize the sample settings.xml provided in the base directory. You can modify the file to add your proxy server settings.

2. Issue the following to build the REST examples:

   mvn clean compile
   

3. Start a cache server and HTTP proxy:

   mvn exec:exec -DhttpProxy
   

   The application starts and the home page automatically loads in the default browser. If the home page does not load in the default browser, then navigate to the following URL:

    http://127.0.0.1:8080/application/index.html
   

   Note:

   the HTTP server listens on all IP Addresses but you can change the address and port that the application runs on by passing the following to the mvn exec:exec command:

   mvn exec:exec -DhttpProxy -Dhttp.address=x.x.x.x -Dhttp.port=7777

4. Optionally, start additional cache servers (without an HTTP server):

   mvn exec:exec -DcacheServer
