Here is a list of points and concepts to retain:

cache servers

define COHERENCE_HOME

cache-server.cmd

coherence.jar!/tangosol-coherence.xml
coherence.jar!/tangosol-coherence-override-dev.xml

custom-mbeans.xml

coherence.cmd = cache client
Map(?)
enter help
enter cache mycache

-Dtangosol.coherence.distributed.localstorage=true
-Dtangosol.coherence.cacheconfig=contacts-cache-config.xml




NamedCache interface
mycache is defined in coherence-cache-config.xml

in tangosol-coherence.xml you find tangosol.coherence.clusteraddress and port

NamedCache
CacheFactory
CacheService

PortableObject (POF: PofReader PofWriter, optimized serialization algorythm)
