I like this clarification. But, what about Jason's comment about the TCK
tests? Are these tests just requiring the database to be accessible? And,
not really requiring it to be local, I trust.
Also, just to clarify... Is a physical default DB required for the server
environment? Or, could the default datasource be configured to point at
an existing database installation and still be compliant? I would assume
that a default DB needs to be packaged with the app server, but since the
EE client environment needed to be clarified, I figured I would ask about
the server environment.
Thanks,
Kevin
