Hi Stuart,
Yes apologies if I wasn't clear.
On the app engine side of things I'm calling createUploadURL and placing
the resulting url in the task payload as follows:
BlobstoreService blobstoreService =
BlobstoreServiceFactory.getBlobstoreService();
String uploadURL = blobstoreService.createUploadUrl("/"+url);
task.payload(uploadURL);
Alternatively, would anyone know of sample code in java trying to
programmatically upload blobs from an external app (posting a response to a
pull task queue) might make things easier. I'm surprise I couldn't find
anything like that on the web.
In a nutshell all I'm trying to do is reproduce the architecture of the
first pull task system presented in the Google I/O talk
http://youtu.be/AM0ZPO7-lcE in java, to place a response to the pull task
queue for the app engine app to consume.
Thanks for your help :-)
