Re: [jakarta.ee-spec] Question about removing of TCK tests like security

[Emily Jiang <emijiang6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott,

Thanks for reaching out to me! My concern is that we need to understand the SecurityManager tests. I might be wrong but I assume these tests use SecurityManager apis to test other functionalities. If we delete them, would the functionalities live without accompanied tests?

Would Java 17 make SecurityManger completely obsolete? Basically removing the security manager apis does not make any differences.

Thanks

Emily

Or is it more that you just don't want to lose any security related tests?

Hi Emily,

I would like to better understand why you said that we cannot remove Java Security Manager tests from the TCK without adding replacement tests? 

I am thinking that if we remove Java Security Manager TCK tests for Jakarta EE 10 and there is a new way in later Java SE versions that standardizes how equivalent security testing could be done in a TCK, that someone could contribute changes to then add new security TCK tests but that is not likely to happen for the EE 10 release.
