3 Installation

This chapter explains how to install the JavaServer 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 the Reference Implementation

You can obtain the JavaServer Faces Reference Implementation (RI) (Eclipse GlassFish 5.0) software from Java Licensee Engineering (https://javapartner.oracle.com).

3.2 Installing the Software

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

  • Java EE 8 RI or, at a minimum, a Web server with a Servlet container

  • Java SE Z

  • JavaServer Faces 2.3 RI, which is Eclipse GlassFish 5.0

  • JavaServer Faces TCK version 2.3, which includes:

    • JDOM 1.0

    • Apache Commons HTTP Client 3.1

    • Apache Commons Logging 1.1.1

    • Apache Commons Codec 1.3

  • The JavaServer Faces 2.3 Vendor Implementation (VI)

Follow these steps:

  1. Install the Java SE Z software, if it is not already installed.
    Download and install the Java SE Z 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 JavaServer Faces TCK 2.3 software.

    1. Copy or download the JavaServer Faces TCK software to your local system.
      You can obtain the JavaServer Faces TCK software from the Java Licensee Engineering (https://javapartner.oracle.com) Web site. The JavaServer Faces TCK software is located in the Web site’s Download Center area.

    2. Use the unzip command to extract the bundle in the directory of your choice:
      unzip jsftck-2.3_dd-mm-yyyy.zip
      This creates the TCK directory. The TCK is the test suite home, <TS_HOME>.

  3. Install the Java EE 8 RI software (the servlet Web container used for running the JavaServer Faces TCK with the JavaServer Faces 2.3 RI), if it is not already installed.
    Download and install the Servlet Web container with the JavaServer Faces 2.3 RI used for running the JavaServer Faces TCK 2.3, represented by the Java EE 8 RI. This software can be obtained from the Java Licensee Engineering Web site. Refer to any installation instructions that accompany the software for additional information.

  4. Install the JavaServer Faces 2.3 Reference Implementation.
    The Reference Implementation is used to validate your initial configuration and setup of the JavaServer Faces TCK 2.3 tests, which are explained further in Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration."
    The JavaServer Faces RI can be obtained from Java Licensee Engineering (https://javapartner.oracle.com).

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

  6. Install the JavaServer Faces Vendor Implementation (VI) to be tested.
    Follow the installation instructions for the particular VI under test.
