Hello,
It appears the TCK Signature tests will not be relaxed (see 1 & 2),
and I'm wondering how Tomcat will proceed with the bnd annotation in
the EL API? Will it be removed in the next release?
Currently, there are no plans to change the Tomcat code.
We do run the TCKs but take a pragmatic view of any failures. For
example, the Servlet TCK test that tests setting a context path in
web.xml always fails because Tomcat always overrides any such setting.
The Servlet spec allows this setting to be overridden but the TCK test
doesn't consider the possibility that a container will always do this.
Therefore we simply treat this as an expected failure. Full details for
all the TCKs we run can be found on the Wiki:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TOMCAT/Jakarta+EE+TCKs
The EL signature test failure is another example of a failure that we
consider can be safely ignored.
Tomcat does not, and has not for many, many years, formally certified
against the Jakarta EE / Java EE TCKs. I am not aware of any user
request at any point in that time to complete formal certification.
Therefore, I expect that Tomcat will continue following its current
pragmatic approach to the TCKs.
