The goal of these labs is to be able to introduce fundamental and core features of enterprise caching thru JBoss Data Grid 7.0 quickly via simple labs that does not require knowledge of anything beyond core java (JDK 8+).

Prerequisites

   • Ensure that $JAVA_HOME/bin is on the PATH so that you can run java on command line at prompt from any folder
2. Maven 3.3
3. Any IDE for Java Development (for example Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA ) or preferably JBoss Developer Studio
4. JBoss Data Grid 7.0 Server

Labs Setup

The labs are provided to you in two flavors embedded and server. Following is the list of labs in both flavors:

There is no additional setup requirement for library mode labs but for working with server mode labs, you have to install and ready the JDG Server.

JDG Server Setup

1. Unzip the server distribution file in a location of your choice. Lets refer to the installed path including the folder jboss-datagrid-7.0.0-server as $JDG_HOME. That is, you should be able to change directory to $JDG_HOME/bin.

2. Add an administrative user with the following command:

   $JDG_HOME/bin/add-user.sh -u admin -p redhat1! 

3. Navigate to folder $JDG_HOME/domain/configuration and run the following commands:

   cp domain.xml demo-domain.xml 
   cp host.xml demo-host.xml

4. When it is time to work with the server (in domain mode), run the following command:

   $JDG_HOME/bin/domain.sh --domain-config=demo-domain.xml --host-config=demo-host.xml
