Basic Java Task Queue Code

Here’s a simple example of how to use the task queue in Java. The code below retrieves the default queue and queues up a task. The task will request the /example_url path and pass in the parameter parameter1 with the value parameter1_value.

Queue queue = QueueFactory.getDefaultQueue();
TaskOptions task = TaskOptions.Builder.withUrl("/example_url");
task.param("parameter1", parameter1_value);
queue.add(task);

Remember to import the task queue classes:

import com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue.Queue;
import com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue.QueueFactory;
import com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue.TaskOptions;
