Executing the TCK requires a Java EE 5 or better runtime environment
(i.e., application server), to which the test artifacts are deployed
and invoked. The TCK does not depend on any particular Java EE
- implementation, only that it is compliant. However, if you decide to
- use JBoss AS 5.1 as the target container, you can use the JBoss AS 5.1
- connector provided with the JBoss Test Harness, alleviating the
- requirement of implementing the
