At the 2025-04-29 Platform call, this proposal was declared dead-on-arrival.

Background for making the request

  • An important set of EE 11 TCK tests are currently failing: the subset of the Connectors specification relating to the use of Servlet and JSP with Connectors. For discussion: ConnectorServletJsp [tck-2183]
  • The cause of the failure has been determined to not be in the EE 11 TCK.
    • The same set of tests when run with GlassFish 7 do not fail.
    • Therefore, we assert the failure is an implementation bug in GlassFish 8.0-JDK17.
  • The cause of the failure has been determined to be ClassLoader related. Such failures are beyond the remit of all but the most experienced GlassFish experts on the Platform TCK team.

The request

  • In the CCR for EE 11 platform, we do not exclude the ConnectorServletJsp tests.
  • Instead we state that we ran these ConnectorServletJsp tests with GlassFish 7 because GlassFish 8 has a bug that prevents running them. All the other tests will run with GlassFish 8.

Why we are making the request

  • Our experience with bugs of this sort tells us that it is very hard to judge how long it will take to fix them.
  • Therefore, we make this request so that we can ship EE 11 Platform. We commit to doing a follow up release CCR when GlassFish 8.0-JDK17 has been fixed to pass the ConnectorServletJsp tests.
