## Jakarta EE Authorization TCK Requirements, Facts, and Figures

The Jakarta EE Authorization TCK requires a minimum of 103 MB of free disk space:

- WARs: 6
- Total tests: 34

There are multiple levels of compliance available for Jakarta EE Authorization certification. Jakarta EE Authorization allows for certification of the following containers: Web Container, Jakarta Enterprise Beans Container, or Both. The standalone Jakarta EE Authorization TCK only concerns itself with Web Container tests and possibly some Jakarta Enterprise Beans-lite tests (which could be run in a Web Profile environment). There are keywords available which can be supplied on the command line which allow isolating the tests for a given level of certification. (For more on keywords, see the Jakarta EE Authorization 2.1 TCK User Guide). The list of keywords available for Jakarta EE Authorization 2.1 TCK is as follows:

- keyword jacc_web : used to run Web Container tests
- keyword jacc_ejb : used to run Jakarta Enterprise Beans Container tests
- keyword jacc_web_profile : used to run WEB and Jakarta Enterprise Beans Lite Container tests in Web Profile environment
- keyword jacc : used to run all Jakarta EE Authorization standalone TCK tests
