The following code adds a task to a queue with options.
In index.html:
<!-- A basic index.html file served from the "/" URL. -->
<html>
<body>
<p>Enqueue a value, to be processed by a worker.</p>
<form action="/enqueue" method="post">
<input type="text" name="key">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
In Enqueue.java:
Java 7
// The Enqueue servlet should be mapped to the "/enqueue" URL.
public class Enqueue extends HttpServlet {
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
String key = request.getParameter("key");
// Add the task to the default queue.
Queue queue = QueueFactory.getDefaultQueue();
queue.add(TaskOptions.Builder.withUrl("/worker").param("key", key));
response.sendRedirect("/");
}
}
Java 8
// The Enqueue servlet should be mapped to the "/enqueue" URL.
// With @WebServlet annotation the webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml is no longer required.
@WebServlet(
name = "TaskEnque",
description = "taskqueue: Enqueue a job with a key",
urlPatterns = "/taskqueues/enqueue"
)
public class Enqueue extends HttpServlet {
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
String key = request.getParameter("key");
// Add the task to the default queue.
Queue queue = QueueFactory.getDefaultQueue();
queue.add(TaskOptions.Builder.withUrl("/worker").param("key", key));
response.sendRedirect("/");
}
}
In Worker.java:
Java 7
// The Worker servlet should be mapped to the "/worker" URL.
public class Worker extends HttpServlet {
private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Worker.class.getName());
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
String key = request.getParameter("key");
// Do something with key.
// ...
}
}
Java 8
// The Worker servlet should be mapped to the "/worker" URL.
// With @WebServlet annotation the webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml is no longer required.
@WebServlet(
name = "TaskWorker",
description = "TaskQueues: worker",
urlPatterns = "/taskqueues/worker"
)
public class Worker extends HttpServlet {
private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Worker.class.getName());
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
String key = request.getParameter("key");
// Do something with key.
// ...
}
}
Tasks added to this queue will execute by calling the request handler at the URL /worker with the parameter key. They will execute at the rate set in the queue.xml file, or the default rate of 5 tasks per second.
