Steps to Run an App
Warning: Pivotal Cloud Cache v1.8 is no longer supported because it has reached the End of General Support (EOGS) phase as defined by the Support Lifecycle Policy. To stay up to date with the latest software and security updates, upgrade to a supported version.
Java Build Pack Requirements
To ensure that your app can use all the features from PCC, use the latest buildpack. The buildpack is available on GitHub at cloudfoundry/java-buildpack.
Bind an App to a Service Instance
Binding your apps to a service instance enables the apps to connect to the service instance and read or write data to the region.
Run cf bind-service APP-NAME SERVICE-INSTANCE-NAME
to bind an app to your service instance.
Replace APP-NAME
with the name of the app.
Replace SERVICE-INSTANCE-NAME
with the name you chose for your service instance.
$ cf bind-service my-app my-cloudcache
Binding an app to the service instance provides connection information through the VCAP_SERVICES
environment variable.
Your app can use this information to configure components, such as the GemFire client cache, to use the service instance.
