Deploying a Java SE Application to Oracle Application Container Cloud Service

Before You Begin

This tutorial shows you how to deploy a Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) application to Oracle Application Container Cloud Service. This tutorial takes 10 minutes to complete.

Background

Oracle Application Container Cloud Service includes Oracle Java SE Cloud Service, which lets you deploy Java applications to Oracle Cloud, and Oracle Node Cloud Service, which lets you deploy Node.js applications to Oracle Cloud. You can also deploy PHP applications.

Oracle Application Container Cloud Service has a preconfigured environment for Java, Node.js, and PHP applications. Its open platform supports all Java frameworks and containers, such as Spring, Play, Tomcat, and Jersey. It supports Java Virtual Machine (JVM) languages such as JRuby, and any language that uses the JVM can run on this service.

Oracle Application Container Cloud Service is fully integrated with other Oracle Cloud Platform services. You can develop your application on your local system, or you can use Oracle Developer Cloud Service.

• Access to an instance of Oracle Application Container Cloud Service (Make a note of your account information: identity domain, user name, password, and data center/region.)
• A storage replication policy for your service instance
• Blackjack_accs.zip file downloaded and extracted to your local folder (This is the Java SE application that you deploy.)
