Installation

## 3 Installation

This chapter explains how to install the Jakarta Transactions 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 GlassFish 5.1 is a compatible implementation which may be obtained from https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.glassfish

### 3.2 Installing the Software

Before you can run the Transactions TCK tests, you must install and set up the following software components:

- Jakarta EE 8 CI or, at a minimum, a Web server with a Servlet container

- Java SE 8

- A CI for Transactions 1.3, one example is Eclipse GlassFish 5.1

- Transactions TCK version 1.3, which includes:

  - JDOM 1.0

  - Apache Commons HTTP Client 3.1

  - Apache Commons Logging 1.1.1

  - Apache Commons Codec 1.3

- The Transactions 1.3 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 Transactions TCK 1.3 software.

   1. Copy or download the Transactions TCK software to your local system.
      You can obtain the Transactions TCK software from the Jakarta EE site https://jakarta.ee/specifications/transactions/1.3/.

   2. Use the `unzip` command to extract the bundle in the directory of your choice:
      `unzip jtatck-1.3_dd-Mmm-YYYY.zip`
      This creates the TCK directory. The TCK is the test suite home, `<TS_HOME>`.

3. Install the Jakarta EE 8 CI software (the servlet Web container used for running the Transactions TCK with the Transactions 1.3 CI, for example Eclipse GlassFish 5.1), if it is not already installed.
   Download and install the Servlet Web container with the Transactions 1.3 CI used for running the Transactions TCK 1.3, represented by the Jakarta EE 8 CI. If you intend to use Eclipse GlassFish 5.1, you may obtain this software via the downloads tab from the project website: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.glassfish.

4. Install a Transactions 1.3 Compatible Implementation.
   A Compatible Implementation is used to validate your initial configuration and setup of the Transactions TCK 1.3 tests, which are explained further in Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration."
   The Compatible Implementations for Transactions are listed on the Jakarta EE Specifications web site: https://jakarta.ee/specifications/transactions/1.3/.

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

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