Coherence*Web Session Management Module

What is Coherence*Web?

Coherence*Web is an HTTP session management module dedicated to managing session state in clustered environments. Built on top of Oracle Coherence, Coherence*Web:

Enables session sharing and management across different web applications, domains and heterogeneous application servers;

Brings Coherence data grid's data scalability, availability, reliability and performance to in-memory session management and storage;

Supports all the mainstream application servers such as Oracle WebLogic Server, IBM WebSphere, Tomcat etc. (Coherence Web Support Matrix);

Supports numerous portal containers including Oracle WebLogic Portal.

Allows session state to be managed in the various caching topologies available in Coherence (i.e. Replicated, Partitioned, Near Caching, Read-Through, Write-Through, Write-Behind and Refresh-Ahead Caching etc.);

Allows storage of session data outside of Java EE application server – freeing up application server heap space and enabling server restarts without session data loss;

Supports multiple advanced session models which define how the session state is physically managed, serialized and deserialized in the cluster;

Provides advanced session distribution and lifecycle controls by way of the session distribution controller and reaper;

Supports fine-grained session and session attribute scoping by way of pluggable policies.

Using Coherence*Web with WebLogic Server and WebLogic Portal

In Coherence 3.5, Coherence*Web integrates with WebLogic Server and WebLogic Portal 10.3 and 9.2 MP1 using the native WebLogic session management SPI. The result of this tighter integration with WebLogic is simplified installation and deployment that no longer requires application instrumentation (via the WebInstaller).

Coherence*Web and WebLogic Server describes the SPI-based WebLogic Server implementation of Coherence*Web in more detail.

Coherence*Web and Other Application Servers

For earlier versions of WebLogic Server, as well as for a number of other third-party application servers, Coherence*Web provides a generic installer that transparently instruments your web applications.
