The 3.0 TCK Relies on old Jakarta/Java EE Servlet Specification

[jamezp]

The 3.0 TCK relies on Wiremock which in turn relies on Java Servlet 3.0. This is really a problem when testing with the Jakarta EE 9.1 variants. A workaround of trying to upgrade Jetty to use a new version, e.g. 11.0.7, which supports Jakarta Servlet 5.0 results in the following:

There appears to be no workaround for this. If you use the older servlet version then TCK tests fail because they can't find the javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse. This results in the following tests failing:

@jamezp I got this working with RESTEasy on Liberty by specifying the jakarta servlet coordinates (here) for EE9, but using the javax coordinates (here)to work with the existing version of WireMock/Jetty.

Will that work for you?

@andymc12 I got it working for WildFly as well in a similar manor, but it still strikes me as odd. This may just be what we have to do I suppose for now :)
