Jakarta EE 11

• Tentative schedule thoughts
  • May 21 TCK complete
  • June 5 CCR created and mentor review started
  • June 9 start ballot (complete 7 to 14 days)
• TCK
  • 10 remaining failures
    • Have been excluded.
    • Functionality is covered in other tests. The failures are all in the appclient vehicle for the set of functionality covered in other vehicles. And we have plenty of app client coverage in other persistence tests.
  • Signature testing
    • Working
      • AppClient
      • Servlet/JSP
    • Not yet working
      • BLOCKER for 21 May date: Data
        • We have a TCK runner for running the Data TCK.

        • Approaches
          • Do it in the runner
          • Do it by adding the API jar to the POM in GlassFish
            • Release milestone of GlassFish
        • ACTION: Arjan to double-check that CI for GlassFish has been restored.
  • Non-GlassFish implementations
    • WildFly
      • Some duplication of tests that need to be mitigated
        • James Perkins: So far JPA is the only issue I’ve had. I’ve got EJB, Pages and a few others working.
      • James continues to work on it, but further along than in previous EE releases.
    • Liberty
      • Working toward 11 Web Profile passing.
