Agenda

Top of mind for Ed, Arjan, Jared

• JEA-499-WebProfile EE 11 release
  • JEA- 506 Stage the Big Zip
    • Yes, staged. https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/ee4j/jakartaee-tck/jakartaee11/staged/eftl/jakartaeetck-11.0.0-dist.zip
    • But: What about JEA-508 CI Job optimizations?
      • ACTION: Arjan update Faces 5.0 release plan to include updating to convert JavaTest old TCK to the new framework
  • JEA 502/503: CCRs for GlassFish 8.0 on JDK 17 and 21.
    • https://github.com/jakartaee/platform/issues/1052
  • JEA 505 Mentor actions
• My major news item is that I filed the CCR for GlassFish 8 Web JDK 21/JDK 17: https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/glassfish/wiki/Jakarta-EE-Platform-11.0,-Eclipse-GlassFish-8.0.0%E2%80%90M10,-TCK-Certification-Summary

Jakarta EE 12

• Considerations for EE 12 for TCK updates
  • JSON and Persistence tests do not run in a container. Would be good to include container tests as well as part of the TCK in vNext of those specs. Previously discussed by Emily and Dmitry
    • Persistence tests currently are duplicated in the platform-tck to run them in a container so didn’t change the released TCK for persistence
    • Persistence TCK tests currently are in the platform-tck repository and would be good to move it over to persistence repository
      • https://github.com/jakartaee/persistence/issues/702
    • Possible idea is to use a protocol for Java SE vs container scenarios
    • TCK requirements for both Java SE and EE tests are documented in the process: https://jakarta.ee/committees/specification/tckprocess/
    • ACTION: Create issue for JSON and Persistence repositories to include container tests
  • Some TCKs still are using the old JavaTest test framework in EE 11 and that transformation should continue in EE 12
  • Additional component TCKs are still hosted in platform-tck repository and would be good to move over to their repositories.
    • Tags, EJB, Connectors are ones we were able to identify on the call
  • CDI TCK has both Java SE and container mode tests in them that can be used as an example
    • EE integration tests were moved to platform-tck repo in EE 11, but could still be hosted in CDI and have them in another folder and archive
• Jakarta HTTP
  • Arjan working on proposal draft
  • Will have a google doc to share shortly, but not today yet. Aiming for by next meeting
  • Concept can be broad, so need to set the scope appropriately
    • Request / response object
    • Header / cookie handling
  • HTTP client concept is being brought up as an idea. Want to avoid feature creep though depending on other people’s thoughts
    • Cookie / header handling
    • Pooling / connection caching
    • Framework to add things like security integration
    • REST client possibly being able to extend such an API
      • Currently doesn’t have easy security integration
• https://github.com/orgs/jakartaee/projects/17/ project board for EE 12 release plans
  • Faces 5.0 should be able to move to mentor review shortly to go to ballot
  • Concurrency 3.2 is getting close to being ready to make a release plan review PR in the next few weeks
