All that we can require is that the results be available in a public accessible form. We cannot require access to the server binary nor can we require access to the platform used to run the TCK and server. Both could be proprietary derivatives of some OS and Java SE. All we can verify is that the correct TCK was passed and that the results look consistent with the expected TCK results.
I definitely see your point. But I have
a question. The EFSP specifically supports the enablement of
independent implementations made available under proprietary
license terms. Under such licensing approaches sometimes the
binaries are available only to paying customers. What would be a
reasonable mechanism to support these scenarios given our
self-certification approach?
To be clear, I am not certain that this
is what is happening in this particular case. But I think it is at
least close.

Ed, I was seeing
all
of the back-and-forth in this Issue and I thought things were
still in
state of flux... Based on this note, I just went out to the CCR
and
found several of the items that you had already pointed out.
But,
I also found a couple of new ones.
I also take
exception
with the idea that a download link or page is not required.
Every
CCR that I have been reviewing, I have been treating this as a
requirement.
I know it says "(if applicable)", but I've been holding
them to higher standard. How else can these CCRs stand the test
of
time? We need CIs to be long-lived and available on an
external,
public web site. Otherwise, as @hantsy pointed out, how else do
we
know that this request is real? Granted, none of us will
attempt
to actually run the tests. But, I think we need to require a
real
download executable.
I've posted
my
comments to the Issue. I am not ready to approve it yet.

Hi, Calling your attention to the
Platform
Certification request, currently pending for Jakarta EE 8,
Inforsuite AS. Compatibility
certification request for InforSuite Application Server for
Full Platform
#306 It's been reviewed by Ivar and
myself.
They'd like approval as quickly as possible -- that would be 14
days from
when it was filed (Feb. 28th), unless a lead approves. I've
identified
a minor correction to the TCK results summary, but otherwise, it
looks
good to me. Does anyone with the Lead role want
to
approve this now (or maybe tomorrow)? -- Ed_______________________________________________
