Re: [servlet-dev] Moving Servlet TCK tests to the Servlet Specification

[Stuart Douglas <sdouglas@xxxxxxxxxx>]

One question around this that will mostly affect full EE vendors. With the old way of running the TCK most of the tests were handled via a single adaptor/test harness (with a few exceptions such as CDI). Once you had your TCK setup you could for the most part run any subset of the tests using the same configuration.

If all the TCKs are going to be split up my concern is that over time the requirements of the test harness for each project may diverge, and we end up with vendors needing to maintain multiple versions of kinda similar but subtly different test adaptors for each TCK.

Do you think this will be a real concern? I have not looked in depth at how this is being implemented so I am not really sure. In an ideal world IMHO as much as possible of the test infrastructure code should still be shared but I am not sure if it is being done that way.

Hi,

Does the Servlet Specification team want to move the Servlet TCK tests over to the Servlet Specification repo?  Olivier Lamy has been working on refactoring the Servlet TCK tests to work with JUnit/Arquillian and I think he would like to continue that effort with the Servlet Specification team, however that can best happen. 

Thanks,

Scott
