Agenda and Minutes

Jakarta EE 9.1

• See TCK and GlassFish items below

TCK Status

• Closer to zero TCK failures
  • Standalone JAXWS failures are pending two CQs for adding two missing schemas. [LJ] should pass now even without files being present, warning is printed and fallback bypassing invalid entry in catalog follows
  • What is typical turnaround time on CQs? - [LJ] piggybacks are usually instant, new CQ takes < week CQs: Scott: paste links here…
    • https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/metro-jax-ws/blob/master/jaxws-ri/tests/unit/testcases/xop/hello/server/wsi-swa.xsd
    • The other one is piggy backing off existing CQ.
  • Platform Webservices12/sec failures will likely be addressed by jakartaee-tck/pull/677

• GlassFish team, TCK team, others have been pushing hard on resolving TCK failures. We don’t expect people working on the weekends but appreciate that they did.

• Pending work
  • Open Platform TCK issues
    • Require passing JAXB TCK for EE 9.1 on JDK 11 compatibility requests needs a volunteer (likely a 3 line User Guide doc change.)
    • Remove JDK signatures from signature testing (needed for allowing JDK11+ to be used for compatibility testing) using sigtest fork.
    • Remove CORBA.ORB from EJB30 tests (done + approved but waiting for EJB team to give +1).
    • Remove PortableRemoteObject#narrow calls or make them optional.
    • Ensure there is an optional group for EJB 2.x views separate from EntityBeans optional group
    • Add Signature tests for javax.rmipackage
  • Estimate for remaining EJB 2.x changes is 2 weeks.
  • No other estimates given.
  • Need to run JAXB TCK again with new JAXB changes.

GlassFish status

• No remaining known issues?
• When TCK is passed, a RC will be released
