Java^TM Enterprise Edition 8 Compatibility Test Suite
Release Notes, @DATE@

Java EE CTS Requirements, Facts, and Figures

The Java EE 8 CTS requires a minimum of 3.7 GB of free disk space:

• Java EE CTS (zipped): 661 MB
• Java EE CTS (unzipped): 1 GB
• Space for CTS log/report files: 2 GB minimum (trace off)

The test suite bundle contains the following:

• EARs: 3367
• RARs: 22
• JARs: 4637
• WARs: 2905
• 52,192 total tests:
  • CTS (JSR 366): 47103
  • CDI 2.0(JSR 365) TCK: 1810
  • Bean Validation 2.0(JSR 380) TCK: 1050
  • Dependency Injection for Java (JSR 330) TCK: 50
  • JWS-WS 2.3 (JSR 224) TCK: 1703
  • SAAJ 1.4 (JSR 067) TCK : 450
  • StAX TCK (JSR 173): 26

The tests for JAX-WS and SAAJ are removed from Java EE CTS, as these technologies are part of Java SE Platform now. However, they are available as standalone TCKs and licensees are required to run these standalone TCKs if they provide their own implementations of these APIs that override the implementations in the Java SE platform.

Chapter 4, "Installation" in the Java EE 8 CTS User's Guide, explains how to install the Java EE Compatibility Test Suite on Solaris, Linux, and Windows systems.

Known Problems and Workarounds

Running the CTS Against Java EE RI on Windows

When configuring and running the CTS against the Java EE RI on Windows, please make sure to install all related software (Java SE, Java EE RI, CTS, etc.) on the same drive (for example, C:). If you want to install on a drive other than C:, please be sure to change the following properties in <TS_HOME>/bin/ts.jte:

pathsep=;
ri.applicationRoot=c:
s1as.applicationRoot=c:
