[DRMAA-WG] Proposal for IDL spec v1.0

[Peter Troeger]

Hi,

Dan and me finished the IDL specification work on a very productive 
face2face meeting last week in Regensburg. Therefore, you can find 
attached our proposed v1.0 for the DRMAA IDL specification. The latest 
changes:

- application of OGF doc style
- inclusion of TimeAmount concept as discussed on an earlier phone 
conference
- scoping of some attributes and parameters, in order to avoid clashes 
with none-case-sensitive programming languages
- removal of getraises usage in attributes (does not work with any IDL tool)
- inclusion of generated complete IDL file in the annex
- several minor bug fixes

Dan and me kindly ask ALL of you to check this document for correctness 
and ease of understanding. As already decided by the group, we will then 
submit the resulting spec to OGF for the proposed recommendation track.

Due to some ugly Word formatting issues, I only send a PDF for review. 
Please comment by using section and chapter numbers as reference.

Thanks and regards,
Peter.

P.S.: For fun reasons, I tested the compilation of our resulting spec 
with some IDL compilers. The JDK compiler (idlj) and OmniOrb compiler 
(omniidl) work without errors, some others like fnidl have their 
problems with CORBA value types.
