Note

These notes are for the 2.3.0 release of the JSF TCK 2.3.0 product.


Kit Contents

The JavaServer FacesTM (JSF), Version 2.3.0, Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) includes the following items:


Platform Notes

The JSF TCK tests have been built and tested with the JavaTM Enterprise Edition 7 SDK (JavaEE SDK) running on the JavaTM Standard Edition (JavaSE) version 8.0. If you are using a different web server, you will need to make adjustments to the procedures outlined in this document.

Refer to the JSF TCK 2.3.0 User's Guide for platform compatibility requirements and notes.


Reference Implementation

The reference implementation for this release is Mojarra Java ServerFaces 2.3.0. To run the TCK, you will need to use a Web container or a java EE7 server that has integrated Mojarra 2.3.0. For the current Java EE server, 7, you will need to perform the integration manually. Download Mojarra 2.3.0 from maven using the following GAV:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
  <artifactId>javax.faces</artifactId>
  <version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>

and replace the existing javax.faces.jar with the downloaded jar. This step will not be necessary for future Java EE server 8.x releases since they will come with Mojarra 2.3.0 preintegrated.


Installing, Setting Up, and Running the JSF TCK

Refer to the JSF TCK 2.3.0 User's Guide, included in the documentation bundle (separate download from product bundle) for complete instructions on installing, setting up, and running the JSF TCK.
