David Matejcek: Testing Jakarta EE Applications with Eclipse GlassFish
summary
Jakarta EE testing becomes practical: GlassFish runs fast enough to execute integration tests on a laptop, the original TCK once had ~65,000 tests, and GlassFish Test Utilities automate start/stop and asadmin scripting so JVM launches don’t leak. The demo shows embedded GlassFish and a Docker image test completing in about 9 seconds, uses Testcontainers for Postgres/MySQL isolation, and integrates Weld JUnit for CDI-style mocks; GitHub Container Registry replaces Docker Hub for reliable image hosting and automated CI.
