Part III Using Caches

Learn about Coherence cache types, how to configure caches and backing maps, how to cache data sources, how to implement quorum policies, and how to extend a cache configuration file.

Part III contains the following chapters:

• Introduction to Coherence Caches
  Coherence offers multiple cache types that can be used depending on your application requirements.
• Configuring Caches
  You use the Coherence cache configuration deployment descriptor to define and configure caches for use by an application.
• Implementing Storage and Backing Maps
  Coherence uses backing maps to store data.
• Caching Data Sources
  Coherence is commonly used to cache data sources which makes the cache a temporary system-of-record.
• Serialization Paged Cache
  Coherence supports caching large amounts of binary data off-heap.
• Using Quorum
  Coherence provides quorum policies that control when specific service actions are allowed in a cluster in order to ensure that a cluster is adequately provisioned.
• Cache Configurations by Example
  You can learn how to configure Coherence caches by reviewing a series of sample cache scheme definitions that can be used or modified as required.
• Extending Cache Configuration Files
  You can extend Coherence cache configuration files using XML namespaces and namespace handler classes.
