DanT has an interesting blog post up where he talks about two different methods getting down into invoking product-specific DRM features when using DRMAA clients. The article is a result of a SGE mailing list thread where someone found themselves wanting to invoke SGE-specific abilities that are not explicitly part of the DRMAA spec. Dan talks about the two main ways to go about doing this.

On a related note, the "Writing Grid Enabled Applications" lab that Dan presented at JavaOne is now available online. You will have to register at the Sun Developer Network in order to view the video or download the materials. A nice walkthrough of DRMAA usage and the API.
