[drmaa-wg] Web service DRMAA interface?

[Peter Troeger]

As stated earlier, I already spent some thoughts in these issues. One 
valid solution seems to be WS-Addressing (one part of WSRF). Among other 
things, the specification defines how you can perform an asynchronous 
web service call. With such a mechanism in place, the blocking 
drmaa_wait() call is performed by the caller through waiting for the 
asynchronous operation result. However, this demands clarification of 
what is happening if multiple interleaved operation calls appear from 
the same client.

Considering our current time plan, I would not expect anything before 
the beginning of next year (Hrabri ?). Anyway it is good to know that 
there is interest in such a mapping. If you have a specific use case for 
"WS-DRMAA", please give us more details, so that we can consider your 
requirements in upcoming DRMAA versions.

Regards,
Peter.
