Hi Mark!
First of all, thank you for your kind reply! I have used TomCat before with servlet. So, I think I would pick TomCat as my container.
However, I would like to know how much coding knowledge I should have. I open github and I kinda get overwhelmed by how much different it is from regular servlet coding.
Are there any topics I should complete before I can begin to understand the TCK?
I would love to get some more advice.
Kind regards,
Jangyaseni

There isn't much code in the Servlet API. Most of the code is in the implementations and, as you will have seen, a lot of the discussion is about how to specify the behavior of the API methods with the implementation taking place in the containers that implement the spec. The one area where there is a lot of code - and a lot of coding to do - is the TCK. My suggestion would be pick a container (Jetty, Tomcat, etc - whichever one you are familiar with) and look at setting up an environment to run the TCK against that container. Then look at extending the TCK to cover the changes made in Servlet 6.1 (see the changelog in the spec document). I'm not aware we have made any updates to the TCK for 6.1. yet.
