Installation

## 3 Installation

This chapter explains how to install the Jakarta Server Pages 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 Server Pages TCK tests, you must install and set up the following software components:

- Jakarta EE 8 CI (for example Eclipse GlassFish 5.1, from https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.glassfish) or, at a minimum, a Web server with a Servlet container

- Java SE 8

- A CI for Server Pages 2.3, one example is Eclipse GlassFish 5.1

- Server Pages TCK version 2.3, which includes:

  - JDOM 1.0

  - Apache Commons HTTP Client 3.1

  - Apache Commons Logging 1.1.1

  - Apache Commons Codec 1.3

- The Server Pages 2.3 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 Server Pages TCK 2.3 software.

   1. Copy or download the Server Pages TCK software to your local system.
      You can obtain the Server Pages TCK software from the Jakarta EE site https://jakarta.ee/specifications/pages/2.3/.

   2. Use the `unzip` command to extract the bundle in the directory of your choice:
      `unzip jsptck-2.3_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, for example Eclipse GlassFish 5.1 (which hosts the servlet Web container used for running the Server Pages TCK with the Server Pages 2.3 CI), if it is not already installed.

4. Download and install the Servlet Web container with the Server Pages 2.3 CI used for running the Server Pages TCK 2.3. For example you could use Eclipse GlassFish 5.1. This software may be obtained from https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.glassfish.

5. Install a Server Pages 2.3 Compatible Implementation.
   A Compatible Implementation is used to validate your initial configuration and setup of the Server Pages TCK 2.3 tests, which are explained further in Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration."
   The Compatible Implementations for Server Pages are listed on the Jakarta EE Specifications web site: https://jakarta.ee/specifications/pages/2.3/.

6. Install a Web server on which the Server Pages TCK test applications can be published for testing the VI.

7. Install the Server Pages VI to be tested.
   Follow the installation instructions for the particular VI under test.
