Installation

## 3 Installation

This chapter explains how to install the Standard Tag Library for JavaServer 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 the Reference Implementation

You can obtain the JSTL Reference Implementation (RI) (JSTL RI) software from Java Licensee Engineering (https://javapartner.oracle.com).

### 3.2 Installing the Software

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

- Java EE 8 RI or, at a minimum, a Web server with a Servlet container

- Java SE 8

- JSTL 1.2 RI, which is JSTL RI

- JSTL TCK version 1.2, which includes:

  - JDOM 1.0

  - Apache Commons HTTP Client 3.1

  - Apache Commons Logging 1.1.1

  - Apache Commons Codec 1.3

- The JSTL 1.2 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 JSTL TCK 1.2 software.

   1. Copy or download the JSTL TCK software to your local system.
      You can obtain the JSTL TCK software from the Java Licensee Engineering (https://javapartner.oracle.com) Web site. The JSTL TCK software is located in the Web site’s Download Center area.

   2. Use the `unzip` command to extract the bundle in the directory of your choice:
      `unzip jstltck-x.x_dd-Mmm-YYYY.zip`
      This creates the TCK directory. The TCK is the test suite home, `<TS_HOME>`.

3. Install the Java EE 8 RI software (the servlet Web container used for running the JSTL TCK with the JSTL 1.2 RI), if it is not already installed.
   Download and install the Servlet Web container with the JSTL 1.2 RI used for running the JSTL TCK 1.2, represented by the Java EE 8 RI. This software can be obtained from the Java Licensee Engineering Web site. Refer to any installation instructions that accompany the software for additional information.

4. Install the JSTL 1.2 Reference Implementation.
   The Reference Implementation is used to validate your initial configuration and setup of the JSTL TCK 1.2 tests, which are explained further in Chapter 4, "Setup and Configuration."
   The JSTL RI can be obtained from Java Licensee Engineering (https://javapartner.oracle.com).

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

6. Install the JSTL Vendor Implementation (VI) to be tested.
   Follow the installation instructions for the particular VI under test.
