Installation

## 3 Installation

This chapter explains how to install the Jakarta Server 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 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 Server Faces TCK tests, you must install and set up the following software components:

- Jakarta EE 8 CI such as Eclipse Mojarra, or Eclipse GlassFish 5.1, or, at a minimum, a Web server with a Servlet container

- Java SE 8

- A CI for Server Faces 2.3, one example is Eclipse Mojarra

- Server 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 Server Faces 2.3 Vendor Implementation (VI)

Follow these steps:

1. Install the Java SE 8 software, if it is not already installed.
   Download and install the Java SE 8 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 Server Faces TCK 2.3 software.

   1. Copy or download the Server Faces TCK software to your local system.
      You can obtain the Server Faces TCK software from the Jakarta EE site https://jakarta.ee/specifications/faces/2.3/.

   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 CI software (the servlet Web container used for running the Server Faces TCK with the Server Faces 2.3 CI), if it is not already installed.
   Download and install the Servlet Web container with the Server Faces 2.3 CI used for running the Server Faces TCK 2.3, represented by the Jakarta EE 8 CI. You are free to us any CI that is certified. The folloiwng are some examples you can choose from:

   - If you wish to use Eclipse Mojarra you may obtain it from https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.mojarra

   - If you wish to use Eclipse GlassFish 5.1 you may obtain it from https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.glassfish

4. Install a Server Faces 2.3 Compatible Implementation.
   A Compatible Implementation is used to validate your initial configuration and setup of the Server Faces TCK 2.3 tests, which are explained further in Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration."
   The Compatible Implementations for Server Faces are listed on the Jakarta EE Specifications web site: https://jakarta.ee/specifications/faces/2.3/.

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

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