This document and the OpenEJB TCK setup can be cloned from Git:
git clone https://github.com/apache/tomee-tck.git
In order to run the TCK, you will need both the TCK binary itself, and the Eclipse Glassfish RI.
To do so, you have two options to acquire the related TCK binary.
wget https://download.eclipse.org/jakartaee/platform/8/jakarta-jakartaeetck-8.0.2.zip unzip jakarta-jakartaeetck-8.0.2.zip # Please note: Direct download is not working here. You need to select a mirror! wget https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/glassfish/glassfish-5.1.0.zip unzip glassfish-5.1.0.zip
At present, we are building the TCK binary from source, following these steps:
git clone https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-tck cd jakaratee-tck git checkout 8.0.2 export WORKSPACE=$(pwd) # Please note: Direct download is not working here. You need to select a mirror! export GF_BUNDLE_URL=https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/glassfish/glassfish-5.1.0.zip export GF_HOME=$WORKSPACE export ANT_HOME=/home/jgallimore/Apps/apache-ant-1.10.5 export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64 export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$ANT_HOME/bin/:$PATH # Might be required, if you downloaded a ZIP rather than to use a git checkout chmod +x $WORKSPACE/docker/build_jakartaeetck.sh $WORKSPACE/docker/build_jakartaeetck.sh
|
Note
|
Substitute in your path for JAVA_HOME and $ANT_HOME as appropriate. The TCK takes around an hour to build.
|
Unzip the TCK zip file (if you have built the TCK by yourself, it is contained in $WORKSPACE/jakartaeetck-bundles) somewhere on your file system. Where and how you set this up is all down to personal preference, but I like to create a ee8tck folder under ~/dev and have both the TCK and Glassfish in this folder:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64 export TCK_HOME=/Users/jgallimore/dev/ee8tck/javaeetck export RI_HOME=/Users/jgallimore/dev/ee8tck/glassfish5
|
Note
|
This environment variables are required for every test run and need to be set again, if you didn’t configured them permanently. |
In addition, you’ll then need to add Apache Ant to the TCK:
mkdir -p $TCK_HOME/tools/ant cp -R $ANT_HOME $TCK_HOME/tools/
|
Note
|
I’m hoping we can eliminate this step (copying Ant) in the coming days. |
Alternative: Provide a symlink to $ANT_HOME
mkdir -p $TCK_HOME/tools/ ln -s $ANT_HOME $TCK_HOME/tools/ant
Once unpacked, they can be "hooked" up via your maven settings.xml file like so:
<settings>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>javaee-tck-environment</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<properties>
<javaee8.cts.home>/Users/jgallimore/dev/ee8tck/javaeetck</javaee8.cts.home>
<javaee8.ri.home>/Users/jgallimore/dev/ee8tck/glassfish5/glassfish</javaee8.ri.home>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
</settings>
To complete a test run against the latest TomEE 8.0.X-SNAPSHOT, from the tomee-tck folder, run
./runtests --web tomee-plume com.sun.ts.tests.ejb30.bb.localaccess.statelessclient
A successful execution should show and output similiar to:

The target directory is not cleaned out at the beginning of a test run. There are a few thousand tests and sometimes multiple executions are required to get complete results. It’s also nice to be able to look back on older log files when tracking down and fixing bugs that the tests uncover.
Bottom line is you have to clear out the target directory manually. On occasion some bad state will get into the server install in the target/ directory. If you start getting weird maven or groovy errors, clean out the target dir and try again.
There is a nice little script in the root directory called runtests.completer which, when sourced, can give be a great time-saver when trying to navigate to run a specific test.
In bash just source the file like so:
source runtests.completer
The TCK for the most part runs as a client in a separate vm. The test results are sent to this vm and then logged here:
target/logs/javatest.log
When looking at exceptions in that log file often come from the remote deployer tool — the same tool we use on the command line for deployment. Most of the deployment related exceptions were generated on the server and sent to the client and that’s why the show up in that log.
The server logs are in the usual place:
target/apache-tomee-plume-8.0.0-SNAPSHOT/logs target/apache-tomee-plume-8.0.0-SNAPSHOT/logs
It is possible to select whole groups of tests or even individual tests. The following are all valid ways to select which tests you’d like to run.
./runtests --web tomee-plume -c com.sun.ts.tests.ejb30 com.sun.ts.tests.ejb ./runtests --web tomee-plume -c com.sun.ts.tests.ejb30.lite.stateful.concurrency.accesstimeout ./runtests --web tomee-plume -c com.sun.ts.tests.ejb30.lite.stateful.concurrency.accesstimeout.annotated ./runtests --web tomee-plume -c com.sun.ts.tests.ejb30.lite.stateful.concurrency.accesstimeout.annotated.Client#beanClassLevel_from_ejbembed
The first command runs of the ejb30 and ejb sections of the TCK illustrating that it is possble to run many sections or tests at once. The very last line shows the syntax for running just one specific test.
Note that the output of the tck shows which exact tests are being run. For example:
...[tck output]... com/sun/ts/tests/ejb30/lite/stateful/concurrency/accesstimeout/annotated/Client#java#beanClassLevel_from_ejbembed - FAILED com/sun/ts/tests/ejb30/lite/stateful/concurrency/accesstimeout/annotated/Client#java#beanClassLevel_from_ejblitejsf - PASSED com/sun/ts/tests/ejb30/lite/stateful/concurrency/accesstimeout/annotated/Client#java#beanClassLevel_from_ejblitejsp - PASSED com/sun/ts/tests/ejb30/lite/stateful/concurrency/accesstimeout/annotated/Client#java#beanClassLevel_from_ejbliteservlet - PASSED com/sun/ts/tests/ejb30/lite/stateful/concurrency/accesstimeout/annotated/Client#java#beanClassLevel_from_ejbliteservlet2 - PASSED com/sun/ts/tests/ejb30/lite/stateful/concurrency/accesstimeout/annotated/Client#java#beanClassLevel2_from_ejbembed - FAILED ....
For the most part, you can copy and paste that test name as-is and use it to run a test that failed… with one slight adjustment. You need to delete the "#java" part and then it will work.
./runtests --web tomee-plume com/sun/ts/tests/ejb30/lite/stateful/concurrency/accesstimeout/annotated/Client#java#beanClassLevel_from_ejbembed
The following are the flags the scrip runtests accept for debuggin purposes:
-d,--debug Enable Server and TCK appclient debug options (5005 and 5003) -de,--debug-embedded Enable TCK embedded ejb debug options (port 5001) -dh,--debug-harness Enable TCK harness debug options (port 5002) -da,--debug-appclient Enable TCK appclient debug options (port 5003) -dj,--debug-javatest Enable TCK javatest debug options (port 5004) -ds,--debug-server Enable Server debug options (port 5005) --connector deploy connectors for connector tests
You can attach to the ports via your IDE remote debugger options. Example:
./runtests --web tomee-plume -c -d com.sun.ts.tests.ejb30.lite.stateful.concurrency.accesstimeout.annotated.Client#beanClassLevel_from_ejbembed
Depending on the IDE, you will need to attempt twice to connect to the exposed port.

The test that needs to be tested are the one having the following keywords:
javaee_web_profile, ejb_web_profile, jacc_web_profile, jaspic_web_profile, javamail_web_profile, jaxr_web_profile, xa_web_profile, jaxrpc_web_profile, jaxws_web_profile

Getting from zero to passing is a long road. Failures and the overall progress tends to go in three stages:
-
setup issues — the right things are not where they need to be.
-
missing features — a key feature is missing causing failures in unrelated tests.
-
compliance issues — legitimate failures.
During phase 1 there will be big jumps in numbers. It is best to clear out as much of phase 1 as possible before moving on to any issues of phase 2 or 3.
During phase 2 it becomes apparent that many tests fail simply because of an unrelated feature that many tests use, such as global jndi support. As these features are added, the tests that still fail are usually failing for more legitimate reasons — actual compliance issues — this is phase 3.
Phase 3 takes the longest and is often the hardest. Unlike phase 1 or 2, the time spent debugging and fixing a test usually only results in one or two more passing tests. It is also common that fixing a specific test requires reworking part of the code. This inevitably results in "two steps forward, one step backward" and other tests might fail because of the change. This is normal. It is also the reason why there should be no more phase 1 or 2 style issues, so that it is possible to see the regressions. Working on phase 3 style issues while there are still phase 1 and 2 style issues is a little bit like working blind. You don’t really know how many steps backward you might be taking as a result of a change. It can be done, but it is risky.

We want to divide and conquer on each phase and clear it out as much as possible before moving to the next one. We could possibly get up to 80% passing before reaching phase 3.
So the name of the game is "call your shot" or "name it and claim it." Find an issue that affects as many tests as possible and post that you are working on it so others know not to look into it as well.
If you get busy or stuck, no problem, just post again to let others know the issue is up for grabs. This is also normal. Taking a quick peak and then realizing that the issue involves someone else’s area of expertise is common. Even if you aren’t able to fix something, taking a look and reporting as much info as you can is incredibly valuable. It’s all part of the certification dance and will ideally happen very often — the right people working on the right things gets you certified much faster.
There are usually so many issues that finding the right one for you is somewhat like sifting through a pile of legos looking for that perfect piece. It doesn’t always fit — chuck it back and look for another one.
