Does the J2EE CTS test for compatibility with the J2EE Connector Architecture?
Shannon: The J2EE 1.3 platform includes the requirement for the J2EE Connector 1.0 Architecture. The CTS tests for all requirements of the J2EE 1.3 Platform Specification including Connectors. Note that CTS tests only that the J2EE product meets the Connector requirements; it doesn’t test any Resource Adapters that might be included with the product. Marinescu: What is the value of the Java Compatible, Enterprise Edition brand? Tegan: Any product that carries the brand assures the customer that the requirements of the J2EE compatibility program have been met. Such a product has been tested for compatibility with the J2EE specification, and has passed all those tests.
