Hi All, Are there any plans to extend JSDL to support SOA-type jobs? I know this is not a part of the standard right now, and Microsoft added their own extension in Windows HPC 2008. With this extension, JSDL file looks something like <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <jsdl:JobDefinition xmlns:jsdl="http://schemas.ggf.org/jsdl/2005/11/jsdl" xmlns:soa="http://schemas.microsoft.com/HPCS2008/hpcbp/soa" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <jsdl:JobDescription> <jsdl:JobIdentification> <jsdl:JobName>SOA Echo</jsdl:JobName> <jsdl:JobProject>HPCBP Project</jsdl:JobProject> </jsdl:JobIdentification> <jsdl:Application> <soa:HPCS2008SOAJob ServiceName="CcpEchoSvc" AllocationShrinkLoadRatioThreshold="75" AllocationGrowLoadRatioThreshold="125" ServiceStatUpdateInterval="30000" ClientConnectionTimeout="30000" ClientIdleTimeout="30000" SessionIdleTimeout="1000"> <soa:JobPriority>Normal</soa:JobPriority> <soa:Project>SOA Test Project</soa:Project> <soa:Runtime>100</soa:Runtime> <soa:ServiceJobName>SOA Test Job</soa:ServiceJobName> <soa:ShareSession>false</soa:ShareSession> </soa:HPCS2008SOAJob> </jsdl:Application> <jsdl:Resources> <!-- .... removed .... --> </jsdl:Resources> </jsdl:JobDescription> </jsdl:JobDefinition> So if there are plans to support something like this in JSDL/Basic Profile, is there any guidance on when approximately it will be available? I am researching cross-vendor API for various grid providers, and the absence of SOA support is a big issue now. Any information on this is greatly appreciated.
