When using a job notifications listener, the information provided by the JobNotification class does not provide any access to the job metadata and SLA, which could be used for sophisticated processing based on the job's life cycle.

We can easily provide access to the JPPFDistributedJob interface of the server-side representationo of a job, and provide a JobNotification.getJob() method to this effect. We would have to document that it would only return a value for locally registered notification listeners (for instance from within a drier startup class), and return null for remotely registered listeners.
