Re: [glassfish-dev] [jakartaee-ambassadors] Jakarta EE 9/GlassFish User

[Reza Rahman <reza_rahman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I do have a devil's advocate question I hope it is OK to ask - does anyone actually derive any value in investing in GlassFish quality for it's own sake? As such, I don't think anyone would try to put GlassFish into production any more.

The only place I see value is a basic mechanism for finishing the Jakarta EE 9 release requirements and ensuring the TCK is usable by other, more production ready implementations (and that is where I was thinking the crowd sourcing focus would be). Slightly beyond that, GlassFish could perhaps serve as the mechanism for some early Jakarta EE 9 evaluation.

Is this a fair perspective or am I missing something? Is it just easier to focus on GlassFish quality holistically?

Hi,

Thanks for starting this effort.

At the moment the simplest thing is, I think, to enable the disabled tests in the GF CI one by one again, look at where they fail, and then investigate those failures.

Running the tests locally is explained in the readme at https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/glassfish/blob/master/README.md

The Jenkinsfile in the root of the GlassFish repo shows which tests are currently run by the CI: https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/glassfish/blob/master/Jenkinsfile#L23

Eventually that should be the whole list again.

As an example, after building and preparing GF per the instructions, running "./gftest web_jsp" would yield 4 failures.

Kind regards,

Arjan Tijms

Folks,

I hope at least some people here still remember FishCAT. It seems to me the Jakarta EE 9/GlassFish 6 work is now at a place where crowdsourced user acceptance testing, bug fixes and enhancements could work and be very valuable.

What are thoughts around this? While this could be done as a purely end user driven effort by the Jakarta EE Ambassadors, it is honestly a lot more effective with support from GlassFish 6/Jakarta EE 9 leadership. Is that a reasonable expectation? In the least I think I am looking for some level of commitment that bug reports and contributions done through such a program would be followed through by the right folks in leadership.

Please let me know?
