[jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Individual Certification Requests

["Kevin Sutter" <sutter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
On the PMC call
today, we had a discussion about the Platform and Web Profile TCK Certification
Requests and whether these CRs would automatically be applied to the individual
Specifications that make up the umbrella Specifications.  For example,
if Open Liberty applies for a Web Profile TCK Certification Request and
it gets accepted, would this also indicate that it has passed the CR requirements
for Persistence, Restful Web Services, CDI, etc?

The PMC determined
that individual CRs would also have to be submitted.  So, in addition
to the Web Profile CR, Open Liberty would also have to submit CRs for Persistence,
Restful Web Services, CDI, etc.  Is that consistent with the Spec
Committee's expectations?

And, second question
that I had after our PMC meeting...  If we all agree that individual
CRs are required, which TCK needs to be run for these individual requests?
 When Open Liberty runs the whole Platform TCK, we are running individual
buckets for all of the other Specifications.  For example, Persistence
(JPA) has somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 sub-buckets which are executed
as part of the Platform TCK run.  Is this testing sufficient to submit
for the individual Specification CRs?  I hope so.  I can understand
running separate individual TCKs for the standalone buckets such as CDI
or Bean Validation, but other than that, is it okay to submit the results
from the overall Platform TCK for the individual CR?

Just trying to
be reasonable with the overall work effort required for this exercise.
