# Jakarta EE Server Faces Technology Compatibility Kit, Version 3.0

## Release Notes, May 2021

Note | These notes are for the 3.0 release of the Jakarta EE Server Faces TCK 3.0 product.

## Kit Contents

The Jakarta EE Server Faces Version 3.0, Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) includes the following items:

- Jakarta EE 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 EE Server Faces Version 3.0 implementation that is under test.

  - Specification tests for the testable assertions required by the Jakarta EE Server Faces 3.0 Revision A Specification.

  - API tests for the public APIs and language elements defined by the Jakarta EE Server Faces 3.0 Specification.

## Platform Notes

The Jakarta EE Server Faces TCK tests have been built with JDK 8 (1.8) and tested with a Jakarta EE Compatible Implementation (Eclipse GlassFish 6.0 or 6.1) , running on the JavaTM Standard Edition (Java SE) version 8 and 11. 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 EE Server Faces TCK 3.0 User's Guide (HMTL, PDF) for platform compatibility requirements and notes.

## Compatible Implementation

A compatible implementation for this release is Eclipse Mojarra which includes Jakarta EE Server Faces 3.0. To run the TCK, you will need to use a Web container or a Jakarta EE 9.1 compatible server that has integrated Mojarra 3.0. For the current Jakarta EE 9.1 server, you will need to perform the integration manually. Download Mojarra 3.0 from maven using the following GAV:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
      <artifactId>jakarta.faces</artifactId>
      <version>3.0.0</version>
    </dependency>

and replace the existing `jakarta.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 3.0 preintegrated.
