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.

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!
