# Jakarta Server Faces Technology Compatibility Kit, Version 2.3.0
Release Notes, September 2019

Note | These notes are for the 2.3.0 release of the Jakarta Server Faces TCK 2.3.0 product.

## Kit Contents

The Jakarta Server Faces Version 2.3.0, Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) includes the following items:

- Jakarta Server Faces TCK signature, API and specification tests:

  - A signature test that checks that all of the public APIs are supported or defined in the Jakarta Server Faces Version 2.3.0 implementation that is under test.

  - Specification tests for the testable assertions required by the Jakarta Server Faces 2.3.0 Revision A Specification.

  - API tests for the public APIs and language elements defined by the Jakarta Server Faces 2.3.0 Revision A Specification.

## Platform Notes

The Jakarta Server Faces TCK tests have been built and tested with a Jakarta EE Compatible Implementation (Eclipse GlassFish 5.1) , 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 Jakarta Server Faces TCK 2.3.0 User's Guide for platform compatibility requirements and notes.

## Compatible Implementation

A compatible implementation for this release is Eclipse Mojarra which includes Jakarta Server Faces 2.3.0. To run the TCK, you will need to use a Web container or a Jakarta EE 8 compatible server that has integrated Mojarra 2.3.0. For the current Jakarta EE 8 server, 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 Jakarta EE 8 compatible server releases if they will come with Mojarra 2.3.0 preintegrated.
