Re: [DRMAA-WG] misssing exceptions and thread safety

Hi Dan, Quoting [Daniel Templeton] (Mar 01 2010):

There is, however, no need to make the exception explicitly optional. Exceptions are by definition optional.

This may be true in this case, but in general I expect exceptions to be guaranteed on specific circumstances. For example, I would expect that a suspend() on an invalid jobid will *always* cause an exception (mandatory), not only sometimes (optional). Best, Andre. -- Nothing is ever easy.
