The prescribed solution needs to be documented still in the Jakarta EE 9.1 Platform TCK but can be seen via the GlassFish porting library script that instructs GlassFish to enable JVM option "-Djava.locale.providers=COMPAT".

The underlying change was described somewhat on https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/252 and eclipse-ee4j/jakartaee-tck/issues/631 which led to GlassFish passing the JSTL tests via adding the "-Djava.locale.providers=COMPAT" option.

I'm not yet sure of the best way for a user to configure the "-Djava.locale.providers=COMPAT" option with WildFly, for which I am opening this issue to determine how WildFly users can specify "-Djava.locale.providers=COMPAT" and more specifically, how we should set that for our TCK testing.

An example of the failure that can be worked around with the COMPAT option:
