Re: [jakarta.ee-community] [ee4j-community] Eclipse Jakarta EE TCK commiters
Hi,

Hi,

It's indeed very suspicious. What puzzles me is that JACC was released on 2003, long before Oracle bought BEA and Sun. They couldn't be the only interested party if this has last for so much time.

Standardising security (as well as resources like data sources) has always been slightly controversial. The problem is that vendors often have their own competing solution as well. Oracle buying the trio of IronFlare, Bea and Sun could have smoother over some of the controversy, but seemingly this didn’t really happen.

Apart from Oracle buying those companies, there’s the matter of the spec lead perhaps not pushing the tech strongly enough, but wanting to gradually make the TCK more strict instead of forcing all vendors to support it fully from day one.

Kind regards,
Arjan

 

Lucky we can now fix it.

Note that the tests have already installed a custom (delegator) provider before checking there was already one present.

I think this may have been done accidentally on purpose. The spec demands a provider to be available and enabled by default, but WebLogic would fail that test.

Time to setup it on our development machines and start testing ;)

Yes ;) I’ve been looking at the JASPIC tests a little, and at first glance they’re quite... special.

Kind regards,
Arjan

It looks like the TCK is now available:

I am indeed familiar with the TCK. The reality though is that I am far too busy already to help unless there is a real dearth of people to help and it is holding up progress.

What I am happy to do though is help familiarize other people.

(Resending to new mailing list address.)

Splitting the CTS project so that each individual TCK is relatively independent is a non-trivial (but not impossible) task.  It should definitely be considered, but it would help to have someone lead that effort who is already familiar with the CTS and the JT Harness framework on which it is built.  Does anyone want to volunteer to do that?

Until that is done, updates to the tests for each API will need to be done in the CTS repository.  We'll definitely need contributors from each API project to update the tests as the API evolves.  If you want to help with that, you should start becoming familiar with the JT Harness framework.

Is help needed to get the CTS migrated over to Jakarta?  I assume we will still use ant (which is a huge improvement over the earlier need for multiple make tools needed on some platforms :-)
