Installation

## 3 Installation

This chapter explains how to install the Jakarta RESTful Web Services 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 Jersey 2.26 is a compatible implementation which may be obtained from https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.jersey

### 3.2 Installing the Software

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

- Jakarta EE 8 CI such as Eclipse GlassFish 5.1 or, at a minimum, a Web server with a Servlet container

- Java SE 8

- A CI for RESTful Web Services 2.1, one example is Eclipse Jersey 2.26

- RESTful Web Services TCK version 2.1, which includes:

  - JDOM 1.0

  - Apache Commons HTTP Client 3.1

  - Apache Commons Logging 1.1.1

  - Apache Commons Codec 1.3

- The RESTful Web Services 2.1 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 RESTful Web Services TCK 2.1 software.

   1. Copy or download the RESTful Web Services TCK software to your local system.
      You can obtain the RESTful Web Services TCK software from the Jakarta EE site https://jakarta.ee/specifications/restful-ws/2.1/.

   2. Use the `unzip` command to extract the bundle in the directory of your choice:
      `unzip jaxrstck-2.1_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 RESTful Web Services TCK with the RESTful Web Services 2.1 CI), if it is not already installed.
   Download and install the Servlet Web container with the RESTful Web Services 2.1 CI used for running the RESTful Web Services TCK 2.1, represented by the Jakarta EE 8 CI. You may obtain a copy of this CI by downloading it from https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.jersey.

4. Install a RESTful Web Services 2.1 Compatible Implementation.
   A Compatible Implementation is used to validate your initial configuration and setup of the RESTful Web Services TCK 2.1 tests, which are explained further in Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration."
   The Compatible Implementations for RESTful Web Services are listed on the Jakarta EE Specifications web site: https://jakarta.ee/specifications/restful-ws/2.1/.

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

6. Install the RESTful Web Services VI to be tested.
   Follow the installation instructions for the particular VI under test.
