Hi Hrabri,

You are right. It is labeled 1.0, but it is implementing 1.0.1 (with the getjobsatus method). We have updated the documentation page
(https://www.gridway.org/doku.php?id=documentation:howto) to explicitly indicate that GridWay implements 1.0 with the last change
(deprecation of the getJobProgramStatus() method in favor of getJobStatus()). GridWay 5.3 is a development version, we will adopt
any policy decided by the group  in the stable version (5.4).

Regards,

Ignacio

> Hi Ignatio,
> 
> As far as I can see GridWay team labled its latest DRMAA Java
> implementation 1.0.
>  
> We are wresting with the path to take.  Namely, we do not have an
> official OGF DRMAA Java document.
> The unofficial line of Java bindings documents are past 1.0 (1.0.1).
> It would be a good idea to start with 1.0 to make it in sync with the
> existing spec and also IDL document that is in the OGF public 
> documenst
> comment period.
> 
> The other DRMAA Java released implementations are not in lock 
> step with
> the OGF versioning numbering, so we are trying to determine which
> inconvenience route to take.
>    *  One is to stick with the old numbering, and deal with 
> the version
> numbering mismatches explicitly in documentation and notes.  
> The general
> public might get confused at times.  Also this route might 
> impact DRMAA
> stability confidence.
>    *  The other route is to mandate all DRMAA OGF documents to be in
> sysnc both in content and in versioning, making life a bit 
> inconvenient
> for developers short term (let them come up to speed via notices and a
> bug record).
> 
> Either path offers opportunity for making a group policy for 
> the future.
> 
> Feel free to provide your perspective.
