Thanks, Steve. I'm really just asking for a more concrete status. Not sure if that's coming from the TCK team or the GF team, or a combination. Maybe
we are closer to the 99% end rather than the 0% end, but I really don't know and I didn't know where to look. And, when I reviewed the dates and the calendar, I started to get nervous and threw out this note. I'd love to be proven wrong so that we can all
sleep better.

From a GlassFish perspective I’m not aware of “basic issues that are preventing any
meaningful results” I know there has been a mail about the ACC for EJB testing? We don’t currently have any open issues raised by the TCK team.

Subject: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Jakarta EE 9.1 release is in jeopardy...
Hi,
Just this week, my eyes have been opened to the fact that our Jakarta EE 9.1 goal of a March 25 release is in jeopardy. As of Tuesday morning, we still have zero results for the GF 6.2 and TCK runs. Tests are executing, but there are still some basic issues
that are preventing any meaningful results.
If we work backwards from March 25, the two week ballot for the 9.1 release would have to start on March 10. And, given that Feb is a short month, that is less than two weeks away. Going from essentially 0% passing to 100% passing in less than two weeks would
be a miracle. As much as I like miracles, I just don't want to count on that to meet this goal.
On our calls this week, I did mention that Open Liberty is at 99.9% passing with the 9.1 TCK and Java SE 11. The main issue is with the Signature tests. We have a workaround to make these work, but we are still working with Scott Marlow to figure out a proper
solution for the TCK. Also, given our current process, Open Liberty could not be the CI for ratification because we do not implement the optional Entity Beans feature.
One idea is to use a tag-team approach for certifying... Focus on GF 6.2 providing test coverage for Entity Beans and OL being used for everything else. We've talked about allowing this co-CI approach in the past, but I'm not positive that our process would
currently allow for this. It reads pretty specific to a single CI:
Compatible
Implementations
A Compatible Implementation must fully implement all non-optional elements of a Specification Version, must not extend the API (no supersetting), and must fulfill all the requirements of the corresponding TCK. A Specification Version must identify at least
one Compatible Implementation under an Open Source License that implements all optional elements of the Specification and fulfills the requirements of all elements (including optional elements) of the TCK.
But, if I look at the figure in the Ratification section of the EFSP, next to the Compatible Implementation box it does use the 1..n notation.
Maybe I'm just fishing for an alternative solution... And, maybe we'll get the magic results for GF and the TCK before the weekend... But, if we are intent on sticking to this March 25 goal, something's going to have to give...
We'll have to start this discussion now via this email distribution since we don't meet again "in person" until the deadline of March 10... Thanks!
