To help assure the compatibility of J2EE implementations, Sun
|
|
Microsystems has developed a Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK). In
|
|
addition, Sun offers a branding license to J2EE implementations that
|
|
wish to claim compatibility to the J2EE standards. In November, 2003
|
|
Sun released J2EE 1.4, and with that release for the first time allowed
|
|
open source implementations to license the TCK on a stand alone basis.
|
|
At that time, JBoss, Inc. became a TCK licensee and committed to pass
|
|
the test.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The TCK is an extensive set of over 23,000 tests. The testing takes a
|
|
very large commitment due to the size, lack of automation, and errors
|
|
in a testing package of this size. JBoss enlisted the assistance of our
|
|
J2EE Certification Founding Partners Atos Origin, Borland, Hewlett
|
|
Packard, Iona, Intel, Sonic, Unisys, and webMethods. JBoss began work
|
|
on this effort in January, 2004 and completed the full testing on JBoss
|
|
4.0 by the end of June, 2004, which is a very aggressive timeline. Much
|
|
of the time went into setting up and configuring the tests and
|
|
understanding the nuances of the tests. Not surprisingly, there were
|
|
only relatively minor changes made to the JBoss code base JBoss has
|
|
been used by many customers as a defacto reference implementation for
|
|
several years. The primary areas where new functionality was needed
|
|
were in CSIV2 security for IIOP, a JAXR implementation, and the
|
|
addition of a new web services implementation.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
JBoss, Inc. and our J2EE Certification Founding Partners are pleased
|
|
that we have passed this significant milestone becoming the first Open
|
|
Source implementation in the market to pass the J2EE 1.4 TCK. This
|
|
brings our customers and partners and development community the
|
|
assurance that Professional Open Source is a safe choice for deployment
|
|
of your applications. <br>

ADDITIONAL NOTICE FROM SUN MICROSYSTEMS: This version of the JBoss
|
|
Application Server source code is made available in support of the open
|
|
source development process. Some numbered or tagged revisions of this
|
|
source have been tested and found to pass the Java™ 2 Platform,
|
|
Enterprise Edition (J2EE™) Compatibility Test Suite, and you can find
|
|
information on which revisions or tags at <a
|
|
href="http://www.jboss.com">www.jboss.com</a>. Please note that since
|
|
only binaries can be tested, source code cannot be described as a
|
|
compatible implementation of the J2EE Specification. The different
|
|
build environment on your machine and any changes you may make to this
|
|
code could render your resulting build incompatible. Because of this,
|
|
writing or deploying applications to builds based on this code can lead
|
|
to lack of portability. You should instead consider deploying
|
|
production applications on the pre-built binaries of the JBoss
|
|
Application Server that are available at <a href="http://www.jboss.com">www.jboss.com</a>
|
|
that have been tested and certified to meet the J2EE compatibility
|
|
requirements.
