[jakarta.ee-spec.committee] bug fixes in Jakarta EE 8 TCK Servlet tests

[Bill Shannon <bill.shannon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to get some quick feedback on this issue to make sure we're
not doing the wrong thing...

A few bug fixes have been applied to the Servlet TCK for Jakarta EE 8.
In my opinion, all the bugs are legitimate bugs in the TCK.

Unfortunately, one of the fixes was not quite perfect and caused problems.
Discussion here:
https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jakartaee-tck-dev/msg00202.html

Based on the principle that the Jakarta EE 8 TCK should be the same as
the Java EE 8 TCK, we're proposing to back out *all* of these fixes to
Servlet tests, both the one that caused problems and the ones that did
not.

Does anyone disagree with that approach?

That's the immediate issue I'd like feedback on.


Something to think about for the future...

If these bugs were reported against the Java EE 8 TCK, we would likely
provide alternate tests with the fixes.  We decided not to allow alternate
tests for Jakarta EE, so we would need to decide if or how to address these
bugs in the future, before Jakarta EE 9.  Would we simply exclude these
buggy tests?  Or would we allow these bugs to be fixed in a service release
of the TCK?

No answer required now.
