Re: [Condor-users] DRMAA interface

[Peter Troeger <peter.troeger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From my experience, the implementation of libcondordrmaa is not 
complete and has some annoying bugs. I would therefore suggest to spend 
some time in writing a native Java DRMAA implementation for Condor. The 
libcondordrmaa works with temporary job submission files, the same could 
work for a Java library.

If we would have the sources of libcondordrmaa, then it would also be 
possible to fix the bugs ;-) ...

Anyway, you do not need to start from scratch, since the already 
available Java DRMAA implementation in Sun Grid Engine is divided into a 
DRM-specific and a general part. Dan Templeton, the author of the Java 
DRMAA spec, wrote a blog post about how to extract the SGE-independent 
part of the API. You can find it here:

I have you any additional question regarding DRMAA, don't hesitate do ask us directly on the DRMAA mailing list (drmaa-wg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx). 

Thank you and regards,
Peter.
