3 Installation

This chapter explains how to install the Jakarta Faces TCK software.

After installing the software according to the instructions in this chapter, proceed to Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration," for instructions on configuring your test environment.

3.1 Obtaining a Compatible Implementation

Each compatible implementation (CI) will provide instructions for obtaining their implementation. Eclipse Mojarra 4.0 is a compatible implementation which may be obtained from https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.mojarra

3.2 Installing the Software

Before you can run the Faces TCK tests, you must install and set up the following software components:

  • Jakarta EE 10.0 CI such as Eclipse Mojarra 4.0, or Eclipse GlassFish 7.0, or, at a minimum, a Web server with a Servlet container

  • Java SE 11

  • Apache Maven 3.6.3+

  • A CI for Faces 4.0, one example is Eclipse Mojarra 4.0

  • Faces TCK version 4.0

  • The Faces 4.0 Vendor Implementation (VI)

Follow these steps:

  1. Install the Java SE 11 software, if it is not already installed.
    Download and install the Java SE 11 software from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html. Refer to the installation instructions that accompany the software for additional information.

  2. Install the build tool Apache Maven 3.6.3+ that will be used to run the TCK, if it is not already installed, for running the tests.

  3. Install the Faces TCK 4.0 software.

    1. Copy or download the Faces TCK software to your local system.
      You can obtain the Faces TCK software from the Jakarta EE web site https://jakarta.ee/specifications/faces/4.0/.

    2. Use the unzip command to extract the bundle in the directory of your choice:
      unzip jakarta-faces-tck-4.0.0.zip

  4. Install the Jakarta EE 10.0 CI software (the servlet Web container used for running the Faces TCK with the Faces 4.0 CI), if it is not already installed.
    Download and install the Servlet Web container with the Faces 4.0 CI used for running the Faces TCK 4.0, represented by a Jakarta EE 10.0 CI. You are free to use any CI that is certified. The following are some examples you can choose from:

  5. Install a Faces 4.0 Compatible Implementation.
    A Compatible Implementation is used to validate your initial configuration and setup of the Faces TCK 4.0 tests, which are explained further in Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration."
    The Compatible Implementations for Faces are listed on the Jakarta EE Specifications web site: https://jakarta.ee/specifications/faces/4.0/.

  6. Install a Web server on which the Faces TCK test applications can be published for testing the VI.

  7. Install the Faces VI to be tested.
    Follow the installation instructions for the particular VI under test.
