Copy the coherence.jar (included in Coherence 3.5) into the APP-INF\lib of the portal enterprise application.
If you wish to use the Coherence P13N CacheProvider, also copy the coherence-wlp.jar into the APP-INF\lib of the portal enterprise application.
If you wish to define the Coherence P13N CacheProvider as the default cache provider, add the following element before the first <cache> element to the META-INF\p13n-cache-config.xml of the portal enterprise application:
```
<default-provider-id>com.tangosol.coherence.weblogic</default-provider-id>
```

Reference coherence-web-spi.war via a library-reference in the WEB-INF\weblogic.xml of the portal web application:

```
<context-param>

    <param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
```
