XML Schemas revisited (Ivar)

  • Are there any schemas for specs that are not updated for Jakarta EE 10?
  • How do we handle them?
  • Discussion:
    • If the spec is not making a release, the previous version is used,
    • Permissions xsd - mark as deprecated

Milestone versions of specifications

  • GlassFish 7.0, OpenLiberty, Wildfly, TomEE
    • Will be able to certify on 17 in addition to 11
    • Should we try to synchronize (like we did for 9.1)?

There will be “a couple” of additional external TCK this time

  • REST
    • Compatible implementations will need to run both the new and the existing TCK.
    • There is a minimum of overlapping tests in the new and the existing
  • Faces
  • Batch
