Certified Implementations

Available certified products and components are listed at http://www.tmforum.org/browse.aspx?catid=2904.

Certification Process
The OSS/J product certification process is totally open and free of charge. It relies on self-testing and self-certification by application developers. No third party testing/auditing is required.

The certification process is simple. The owner of the certified product makes the claim that the product meets the technical requirements for compatibility with a specific OSS/J API specification, publishes technical evidence in support of this claim, and assumes responsibility for the claim.

In accordance with the Java Community Process, each OSS/J API consists of a Specification, a Reference Implementation (RI), and a Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) for each of the three integration profiles that are or will be available for OSS/J APIs:

  • Tightly coupled integration with Java/JVT profile (Spec, RI, TCK)
  • Loosely coupled integration with XML/JMS profile (Spec, RI, TCK)
  • Cross operational boundaries integration with Web Services (Spec, RI, TCK).

Certified products implement the respective OSS/J API (server side). To be designated as a Certified product, the product shall: (1) implement at least one integration profile, (2) pass all associated TCK tests, (3) post the TCK report on a public page of the company Web site, and (4) complete the process to list the product on the OSS/J Web site.
