4 Setup and Configuration

This chapter describes how to set up the JAX-RPC TCK and JavaTest harness software. Before proceeding with the instructions in this chapter, be sure to install all required software, as described in Chapter 3, "Installation."

After completing the instructions in this chapter, proceed to Chapter 5, "Executing Tests," for instructions on running the JAX-RPC TCK.

4.1 Configuring Your Environment to Run the TCK Against the Reference Implementation

After configuring your environment as described in this section, continue with the instructions in Section 4.3, "Using the JavaTest Harness Software."

Note

In these instructions, variables in angle brackets need to be expanded for each platform. For example, <TS_HOME> becomes $TS_HOME on Solaris/Linux and %TS_HOME% on Windows. In addition, the forward slashes (/) used in all of the examples need to be replaced with backslashes (\) for Windows. Finally, be sure to use the appropriate separator for your operating system when specifying multiple path entries (; on Windows, : on UNIX/Linux).

On Windows, you must escape any backslashes with an extra backslash in path separators used in any of the following properties, or use forward slashes as a path separator instead.

  1. Set the following environment variables in your shell environment:

    1. JAVA_HOME to the directory in which Java SE 8 is installed

    2. TS_HOME to the directory in which the JAX-RPC TCK 1.1 software is installed

    3. JWSDP_HOME to the directory in which the JAX-RPC 1.1 RI has been installed

    4. PATH to include the following directories: JAVA_HOME/bin, TS_HOME/bin, and <TS_HOME>/tools/ant/bin

  2. Edit your <TS_HOME>/bin/build.properties file and set the following environment variables:

    1. Set the webserver.home property to the directory in which the Java Web Services Developers Pack 1.3 software is installed.
      By default this is ${env.JWSDP_HOME}.

    2. Set the webserver.host property to the host on which the Web server is running.
      By default this is localhost.

    3. Set the webserver.port property to the port on which the web Server is running.

    4. Set the j2ee.home.ri property to the directory in which the J2SE software is installed, for reference to the packager tool used by the build infrastructure. You only need to set this property if you want to build the JAX-RPC TCK software.

    5. Set the jaxrpc.home property to the path for Java Web Services Developers Pack, which contains the JAX-RPC mapping tool, is installed.

    6. Set the jaxrpc.tool property to the path where the JAX-RPC 1.1 JavaToWSDL and WSDLToJava mapping tool exists.
      By default this is <JWSDP_HOME>/jaxrpc/bin/wscompile.sh.

    7. Set the local_classes property to point to the JAX-RPC RI classes/jars and the TCK classes/jars (tsharness.jar, javatest.jar, jaxrpctck.jar). For the Java Web Services Developers Pack (JWSDP 1.3) your local_classes property setting is:

      local_classes=${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jaxp/lib/jaxp-api.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jaxp/lib/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jaxp/lib/endorsed/xsltc.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jaxp/lib/endorsed/xalan.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jaxp/lib/endorsed/sax.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jaxp/lib/endorsed/dom.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/saaj/lib/saaj-impl.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/saaj/lib/saaj-api.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jaxrpc/lib/jaxrpc-impl.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jaxrpc/lib/jaxrpc-api.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jaxrpc/lib/jaxrpc-spi.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jwsdp-shared/lib/mail.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jwsdp-shared/lib/activation.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jwsdp-shared/lib/commons-logging.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jwsdp-shared/lib/jax-qname.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jwsdp-shared/lib/relaxngDatatype.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jwsdp-shared/lib/xsdlib.jar:
      ${env.JWSDP_HOME}/jwsdp-shared/lib/jaas.jar:
      ${env.TS_HOME}/lib/javatest.jar:${env.TS_HOME}/lib/
      tsharness.jar:
      ${env.TS_HOME}/lib/jaxrpctck.jar:${env.JWSDP_HOME}/common/
      lib/servlet-api.jar
  3. Provide your own implementation of the porting package interface provided with the JAX-RPC TCK.

    • The porting package interface, TSURLInterface.java, obtains URL strings for web resources in an implementation-specific manner.

    • TSJAXRPCInterface.java – Obtains RPC service endpoint URLs and WSDL service file location URLs in a vendor-specific manner using standard properties that map to the URL values supplied by the vendor and to obtain Service Implementation Classes in a vendor-specific manner.
      API documentation for the TSURLInterface.java porting package interface is available in the JAX-RPC TCK documentation bundle.

  4. Edit your <TS_HOME>/bin/ts.jte file and modify the following environment settings:

    1. Set the webServerHost property to the name of the host on which Java EE 8 RI is running.
      The default setting is localhost.

    2. Set the webServerPort property to the port number of the host on which Java EE 8 RI is running.
      The default setting is 8080.

    3. Set the secureWebServerPort property to the secure SSL HTTP/1.1 port number of the host on which the web server is running.+ The default setting is 8443.

    4. Set the user and password properties to the user and password used for the basic authentication tests.
      The default setting is j2ee for both.

    5. Set the authuser and authpassword properties to the user and password used for the basic authentication tests.
      The default setting is javajoe for both.

    6. Set the porting.ts.url.class.1 property to your porting implementation class that is used for obtaining URLs.
      The default setting for the Sun RI porting implementation is:
      com.sun.ts.lib.implementation.sun.common.SunRIURL.

    7. Set the porting.ts.jaxrpc.class.1 property to your porting implementation class that is used for obtaining service implementation classes, port information, and URLs for service endpoints and WSDL locations.+ The default setting for the Sun RI porting implementation is:
      com.sun.ts.lib.implementation.sun.jaxrpc.SunRIJAXRPC

4.2 Configuring Your Environment to Repackage and Run the TCK Against the Vendor Implementation

After configuring your environment as described in this section, continue with the instructions in Section 4.3, "Using the JavaTest Harness Software."

Note

In these instructions, variables in angle brackets need to be expanded for each platform. For example, <TS_HOME> becomes $TS_HOME on Solaris/Linux and %TS_HOME% on Windows. In addition, the forward slashes (/) used in all of the examples need to be replaced with backslashes (\) for Windows. Finally, be sure to use the appropriate separator for your operating system when specifying multiple path entries (; on Windows, : on UNIX/Linux).

On Windows, you must escape any backslashes with an extra backslash in path separators used in any of the following properties, or use forward slashes as a path separator instead.

4.2.1 Running the JAX-RPC TCK on a Vendor’s Implementation

The JAX-RPC 1.1 specification does not specify any normative model for packaging and deployment of service endpoints on a servlet container-based JAX-RPC runtime system. A JAX-RPC 1.1 implementation is allowed to have a vendorspecific deployment and packaging model for servlet-based service endpoints. For this reason, the JAX-RPC TCK provides two distribution directories, /dist and /dist-vi, for the web service endpoint tests.

The /dist directory contains all the WAR files for the JAX-RPC TCK service endpoint tests that have been compiled and packaged for deployment on a Servlet-compliant web container using the standard Web Archive (WAR) format. These WAR files are tailored for use with the JAX-RPC 1.1 Reference Implementation. The web.xml file contains the deployment information that the web container needs to link JAX-RPC service endpoints to its associated servlet class. One generic servlet class, com.sun.xml.rpc.server.http.JAXRPCServlet , is used for all JAX-RPC service endpoints. These WAR files enable you to run, without any additional setup or modification, the JAX-RPC TCK tests and to test the various features and functionality of the JAX-RPC 1.1 Reference Implementation.

The /dist-vi directory contains generic JAR files for all the TCK service endpoint tests that you must use to package and deploy on your JAX-RPC 1.1 implementation in a vendor-specific way. For each of these web applications, you must use your deployment tool to perform the appropriate Java-to-WSDL or WSDL-to-Java mapping, based on whether the service endpoint is defined by a Java Service Endpoint Interface or a WSDL service document. Next, you must package all the generated artifacts needed along with the service implementation classes for the service endpoints and deploy them on your container-based implementation.

The following README files and TABLE show test breakdown and provide information that should help you with this process

  • README.JAVA-TO-WSDL

  • README.WSDL-TO-JAVA

  • Test Breakdown and Mapping Requirements

These README files contain the manual instructions that you need to perform to implementation. The files also specify the mapping (Java-to-WSDL or WSDL-to- deploy and package the service endpoint tests on your JAX-RPC 1.1 Java) that each test must perform. + For a brief example of how the JAX-RPC 1.1 Reference Implementation does this, look at the J2WMT.war web application in the the /dist directory. This test marshalls/unmarshalls all the JAX-RPC-supported Java data types as outlined in the JAX-RPC 1.1 Specification using the Java-to-WSDL mapping. The web.xml file that is packaged in this web application is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://
java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
<display-name>J2WMarshallTestApp</display-name>
<listener>
<listenerclass>
com.sun.ts.tests.jaxrpc.common.JAXRPCContextListener</
listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>XmlServletName</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.sun.ts.tests.jaxrpc.common.JAXRPCServlet</
servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>0</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>XmlServletName</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/jaxrpc/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<session-config>
<session-timeout>54</session-timeout>
</session-config>
</web-app>

As you can see, the JAX-RPC service endpoint is linked to a generic servlet in the JAX-RPC RI (com.sun.xml.rpc.server.http.JAXRPCServlet). This servlet is abstracted out in JAX-RPC TCK under common servlet (com.sun.ts.tests.jaxrpc.common.JAXRPCServlet) which simply extends it. This common servlet is used for processing, handling and dispatching to all JAX-RPC service endpoints. The JAX-RPC TCK Service Endpoint WAR files use a consistent naming convention for accessing all Service Endpoint URLs and WSDL URLs: as follows.

The example that follows is one of the JAX-RPC TCK tests that shows this mapping.

The following implementation-specific runtime configuration file, jaxrpc-riruntime. xml , is supplied as a web archive initialization file to this servlet. This runtime configuration file is automatically generated by the wsdeploy deployment tool, which gives information on all service endpoints containing their interface, implementation and tie classes, their service, port and WSDL document and their URL pattern for accessing the endpoint.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<endpoints xmlns=’http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/runtime’ version=’1.0’>
<endpoint
  name=’MarshallTest’
  interface=’com.sun.ts.tests.jaxrpc.ee.j2w.marshalltest.Marshall Test’
  implementation=’com.sun.ts.tests.jaxrpc.ee.j2w.marshalltest.MarshallTestImpl’
  tie=’com.sun.ts.tests.jaxrpc.ee.j2w.marshalltest.MarshallTest_Tie’
  wsdl=’/WEB-INF/MarshallTestService.wsdl’
  service=’{http://marshalltestservice.org/wsdl}MarshallTestService’
  port=’{http://marshalltestservice.org/wsdl}MarshallTestPort’
  urlpattern=’/jaxrpc/MarshallTest’/>
</endpoints>

The RPC service endpoint has one port defined in its runtime configuration file. The test client code accesses this JAX-RPC service endpoint and port at the following URL location:
http://webServerHost:webServerPort/J2WMT/jaxrpc/MarshallTest

where MarshallTest is the service port to access.

The above RPC service endpoint WSDL file describing this service is also published. The test client code accesses this WSDL file based on the above configuration via the following URL location:
http://webServerHost:webServerPort/J2WMT/jaxrpc/MarshallTest?WSDL

4.2.2 Instructions for Interoperability Test Scenarios

To test for interoperability between your implementation and the JAX-RPC Reference Implementation, we recommend the following two test scenarios:

  • J2WMT

  • W2JMarshallTest

Complete the following steps to test interoperability between JAX-RPC implementations in both directions:

  1. Deploy and run the J2WMT and W2JMarshallTest TCK tests on your own JAX-RPC 1.1 implementation and perform the appropriate mappings (WSDL-to-Java) and (Java-to-WSDL)

  2. Deploy the JAX-RPC RI WAR files (J2WMT.war) and (W2JMarshallTest.war) on a remote host system using the JAX-RPC 1.1 Reference Implementation.

  3. On your local host system that is running your own JAX-RPC implementation, edit the ts.jte file to change the Web server host and port to point to this remote system running the JAX-RPC RI with the J2WMT.war and W2JMarshallTest.war WAR files deployed.

  4. Run the client code for these tests against the remote system to test the marshalling/unmarshalling of data from your JAX-RPC implementaton to the JAX-RPC RI implementation system and back.

  5. Perform the same procedure going in the opposite direction, running the client on the JAX-RPC RI and accessing the Service Endpoint deployed on your JAX-RPC implementation.

4.4 Custom Configuration Handlers

Configuration handlers are used to configure and unconfigure a JAX-RPC 1.1 implementation during the certification process. These are similar to deployment handlers but used for configuration. A configuration handler is an Ant build file that contains at least the required targets listed below: * config.vi - to configure the vendor implementation * clean.vi - to unconfigure the vendor implementation

These targets are called from the <TS_HOME>/bin/build.xml file and call down into the implementation-specific configuration handlers.

To provide your own configuration handler, create a config.vi.xml file with the necessary configuration steps for your implementation and place the file under the <TS_HOME>/bin/xml/impl/<your_impl> directory.

For more information, see <TS_HOME>/bin/xml/impl/glassfish/config.vi.xml, the configuration file for the Java EE 8 RI.

4.5 Custom Deployment Handlers

Deployment handlers are used to deploy and undeploy the WAR files that contain the tests to be run during the certification process. A deployment handler is an Ant build file that contains at least the required targets listed in the table below.

The JAX-RPC TCK provides these deployment handlers: * <TS_HOME>/bin/xml/impl/none/deploy.xml * <TS_HOME>/bin/xml/impl/glassfish/deploy.xml

The deploy.xml files in each of these directories are used to control deployment to a specific container (no deployment, deployment to the GlassFish Web container, deployment to the Tomcat Web container) denoted by the name of the directory in which each deploy.xml file resides. The primary build.xml file in the <TS_HOME>/bin directory has a target to invoke any of the required targets (-deploy, -undeploy, -deploy.all, -undeploy.all).

4.5.1 To Create a Custom Deployment Handler

To deploy tests to another JAX-RPC implementation, you must create a custom handler. 1. Create a new directory in the <TS_HOME>/bin/impl directory tree. For example, create the <TS_HOME>/bin/impl/my_deployment_handler directory. Replace my_deployment_handler with the value of the impl.vi property that you set in Step 5 of the configuration procedure described in Section 4.2, "Configuring Your Environment to Repackage and Run the TCK Against the Vendor Implementation".

  1. Copy the deploy.xml file from the <TS_HOME>/bin/xml/impl/none directory to the directory that you created.

  2. Modify the required targets in the deploy.xml file. This is what the deploy.xml file for the "none" deployment handler looks like.

    <project name="No-op Deployment" default="deploy">
        <!-- No-op deployment target -->
        <target name="-deploy">
            <echo message="No deploy target implemented for this deliverable"/>
        </target>
        <target name="-undeploy">
            <echo message="No undeploy target implemented for this deliverable"/>
        </target>
        <target name="-deploy.all">
            <echo message="No deploy target implemented for this deliverable"/>
        </target>
        <target name="-undeploy.all">
            <echo message="No undeploy target implemented for this deliverable"/>
        </target>
    </project>

    Although this example just echoes messages, it does include the four required Ant targets (-deploy, -undeploy, -deploy.all, -undeploy.all) that your custom deploy.xml file must contain. With this as your starting point, look at the required targets in the deploy.xml files in the tomcat and glassfish directories for guidance as you create the same targets for the Web container in which you will run your implementation of JAX-RPC.

The following Ant targets can be called from anywhere under the <TS_HOME>/src directory:

  • deploy

  • undeploy

  • deploy.all

  • undeploy.all

The deploy.all and undeploy.all targets can also be called from the <TS_HOME>/bin directory.

Note

The targets in the deploy.xml file are never called directly. They are called indirectly by the targets listed above.

4.6 Using the JavaTest Harness Software

There are two general ways to run the JAX-RPC TCK test suite using the JavaTest harness software:

4.7 Using the JavaTest Harness Configuration GUI

You can use the JavaTest harness GUI to modify general test settings and to quickly get started with the default JAX-RPC TCK test environment. This section covers the following topics:

Note

It is only necessary to proceed with this section if you want to run the JavaTest harness in GUI mode. If you plan to run the JavaTest harness in command-line mode, skip the remainder of this chapter, and continue with Chapter 5, "Executing Tests."

4.7.1 Configuration GUI Overview

In order for the JavaTest harness to execute the test suite, it requires information about how your computing environment is configured. The JavaTest harness requires two types of configuration information:

  • Test environment: This is data used by the tests. For example, the path to the Java runtime, how to start the product being tested, network resources, and other information required by the tests in order to run. This information does not change frequently and usually stays constant from test run to test run.

  • Test parameters: This is information used by the JavaTest harness to run the tests. Test parameters are values used by the JavaTest harness that determine which tests in the test suite are run, how the tests should be run, and where the test reports are stored. This information often changes from test run to test run.

The first time you run the JavaTest harness software, you are asked to specify the test suite and work directory that you want to use. (These parameters can be changed later from within the JavaTest harness GUI.)

Once the JavaTest harness GUI is displayed, whenever you choose Start, then Run Tests to begin a test run, the JavaTest harness determines whether all of the required configuration information has been supplied:

  • If the test environment and parameters have been completely configured, the test run starts immediately.

  • If any required configuration information is missing, the configuration editor displays a series of questions asking you the necessary information. This is called the configuration interview. When you have entered the configuration data, you are asked if you wish to proceed with running the test.

4.7.2 Starting the Configuration GUI

Before you start the JavaTest harness software, you must have a valid test suite and Java SE 8 installed on your system.

The JAX-RPC TCK includes an Ant script that is used to execute the JavaTest harness from the <TS_HOME> directory. Using this Ant script to start the JavaTest harness is part of the procedure described in Section 4.7.3, "To Configure the JavaTest Harness to Run the TCK Tests."

When you execute the JavaTest harness software for the first time, the JavaTest harness displays a Welcome dialog box that guides you through the initial startup configuration.

  • If it is able to open a test suite, the JavaTest harness displays a Welcome to JavaTest dialog box that guides you through the process of either opening an existing work directory or creating a new work directory as described in the JavaTest online help.

  • If the JavaTest harness is unable to open a test suite, it displays a Welcome to JavaTest dialog box that guides you through the process of opening both a test suite and a work directory as described in the JavaTest documentation.

After you specify a work directory, you can use the Test Manager to configure and run tests as described in Section 4.7.3, "To Configure the JavaTest Harness to Run the TCK Tests."

4.7.3 To Configure the JavaTest Harness to Run the TCK Tests

The answers you give to some of the configuration interview questions are specific to your site. For example, the name of the host on which the JavaTest harness is running. Other configuration parameters can be set however you wish. For example, where you want test report files to be stored.

Note that you only need to complete all these steps the first time you start the JavaTest test harness. After you complete these steps, you can either run all of the tests by completing the steps in Section 5.1, "Starting JavaTest," or run a subset of the tests by completing the steps in Section 5.2, "Running a Subset of the Tests."

  1. Change to the <TS_HOME>/bin directory and start the JavaTest test harness:
    cd <TS_HOME>/bin
    ant gui

  2. From the File menu, click Open Quick Start Wizard.
    The Welcome screen displays.

  3. Select Start a new test run, and then click Next.
    You are prompted to create a new configuration or use a configuration template.

  4. Select Create a new configuration, and then click Next.
    You are prompted to select a test suite.

  5. Accept the default suite (<TS_HOME>/src), and then click Next.
    You are prompted to specify a work directory to use to store your test results.

  6. Type a work directory name or use the Browse button to select a work directory, and then click Next.
    You are prompted to start the configuration editor or start a test run. At this point, the JAX-RPC TCK is configured to run the default test suite.

  7. Deselect the Start the configuration editor option, and then click Finish.

  8. Click Run Tests, then click Start.
    The JavaTest harness starts running the tests.

  9. To reconfigure the JavaTest test harness, do one of the following:

    • Click Configuration, then click New Configuration.

    • Click Configuration, then click Change Configuration.

  10. Click Report, and then click Create Report.

  11. Specify the directory in which the JavaTest test harness will write the report, and then click OK.
    A report is created, and you are asked whether you want to view it.

  12. Click Yes to view the report.

4.7.4 Modifying the Default Test Configuration

The JavaTest GUI enables you to configure numerous test options. These options are divided into two general dialog box groups:

  • Group 1: Available from the JavaTest Configure/Change Configuration submenus, the following options are displayed in a tabbed dialog box:

    • Tests to Run

    • Exclude List

    • Keywords

    • Prior Status

    • Test Environment

    • Concurrency

    • Timeout Factor

  • Group 2: Available from the JavaTest Configure/Change Configuration/Other Values submenu, or by pressing Ctrl+E, the following options are displayed in a paged dialog box:

    • Environment Files

    • Test Environment

    • Specify Tests to Run

    • Specify an Exclude List

Note that there is some overlap between the functions in these two dialog boxes; for those functions use the dialog box that is most convenient for you. Please refer to the JavaTest Harness documentation or the online help for complete information about these various options.
