I'm very excited to start using backends with my GAE project. Because of the past 30sec restrictions, I heavily divided up the big processing tasks I was doing (refreshing RSS and ATOM feeds) into a lot of tasks that I put into task queues. These refresh jobs are all started with a few Cron jobs.
I want to move processing over to a backend but am wondering how to address these jobs to that backend. If I try to call the urls on the backend directly, I get errors because task queues and cron will only run jobs that begin with '/' It would be nice if I could specify a backend in the Cron XML or as a parameter in task queues TaskOptions.Builder.withBackend("mother").withUrl(... If a backend instance creates a task in the task queue with a URL from "/" will that task run on the backend instance that called it or will it run in a normal instance? log error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: url must contain a path starting with '/' part - contains :backend.xx.appspot.com/server at com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue.QueueImpl.parsePartialUrl(QueueImpl.java: 118) at com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue.QueueImpl.validateAndFillAddRequest(QueueImpl.java: 196) at com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue.QueueImpl.add(QueueImpl.java: 431) at com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue.QueueImpl.add(QueueImpl.java: 412) at com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue.QueueImpl.add(QueueImpl.java: 397) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
