4 Setup and Configuration

Note

The Jakarta EE Specification process provides for any number of compatible implementations. As additional implementations become available, refer to project or product documentation from those vendors for specific TCK setup and operational guidance.

This chapter describes how to set up the Server Pages TCK and JavaTest harness software. Before proceeding with the instructions in this chapter, be sure to install all required software, as described in Chapter 3, "Installation."

After completing the instructions in this chapter, proceed to Chapter 5, "Executing Tests," for instructions on running the Server Pages TCK.

4.1 Configuring Your Environment to Run the TCK Against the Reference Implementation

After configuring your environment as described in this section, continue with the instructions in Chapter 5, "Executing Tests."

Note

In these instructions, variables in angle brackets need to be expanded for each platform. For example, <JAVA_HOME> becomes $JAVA_HOME on Solaris/Linux and %JAVA_HOME% on Windows. In addition, the forward slashes (/) used in all of the examples need to be replaced with backslashes (\) for Windows. Finally, be sure to use the appropriate separator for your operating system when specifying multiple path entries (; on Windows, : on UNIX/Linux).

On Windows, you must escape any backslashes with an extra backslash in path separators used in any of the following properties, or use forward slashes as a path separator instead.

  1. Set the following environment variables in your shell environment:

    1. JAVA_HOME to the directory in which Java SE 17 is installed

    2. M2_HOME to the directory in which the Apache Maven build tool is installed.

    3. PATH to include the following directories: JAVA_HOME/bin, and M2_HOME/bin

  2. Set the following System properties:

    1. Set the webServerHost property to the name of the host on which Jakarta EE 11 CI (for example Tomcat 11.0.0+) is running.
      The default setting is localhost.

    2. Set the webServerPort property to the port number of the host on which your Jakarta EE 11 CI is running.
      The default setting is 8080.

    3. Set the webServerHome property to the installation directory of Jakarta EE 11 CI.

    4. jspservlet.classes to the path to the Servlet and Server Pages API classes that are used for building.

    5. jstl.classes to the path to the Jakarta Standard Tag Library JAR files.

    6. When the signature tests are run, the sigTestClasspath property must be set to a list of JAR files and directories which contain the Jakarta EE and Java SE classes.
      Paths must be separated by the appropriate path separator (";" on Windows, ":" on Solaris/Linux).

    7. porting.ts.url.class.1 to the class names of your porting class implementations.
      By default, the property settings point to the Server Pages TCK CI-specific classes.

  3. 3. Set the below jars to the classpath

    1. JAR file for the Server Pages 4.0 API.
      eg. ${webServerHost}/modules/jakarta.servlet.jsp-api.jar.

    2. JUnit 5 jars (5.9.3+) Maven cordinates :

             <dependency>
                <groupId>org.junit</groupId>
                <artifactId>junit-bom</artifactId>
                <version>5.9.3</version>
                <type>pom</type>
                <scope>import</scope>
             </dependency>
    3. sigtest-maven-plugin (2.2) to run the signature tests. Maven cordinates :

            <dependency>
                  <groupId>jakarta.tck</groupId>
                  <artifactId>sigtest-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                  <version>2.2</version>
              </dependency>
    4. Tomcat 11.0.0+ CI jars
      For eg, if you are using the Tomcat 11.0.0+ CI below jars need to be added to Classpath

  4. Provide your own implementation of the porting package interface provided with the Server Pages TCK.
    The porting package interface, TSURLInterface.java, obtains URL strings for web resources in an implementation-specific manner. API documentation for the TSURLInterface.java porting package interface is available in the Server Pages TCK documentation bundle.

4.2 Configuring Your Environment to Repackage and Run the TCK Against the Vendor Implementation

Not needed for the Server Pages TCK.

4.3 Publishing the Test Applications

Not needed for the Server Pages TCK.
