Jesque is an implementation of Resque in Java. It is fully-interoperable with the Ruby and Node.js (Coffee-Resque) implementations.
The grails jesque plugin uses jesque and the grails redis plugin as a dependency. While it uses jesque for the core functionality it makes it groovier to use in grails.
There is also a grails jesque-web plugin initially ported from the jesque-web spring-mvc app, which itself was based on the Sinatra web app resque-web in resque. Either UI will allow you to see what's in your queues and view and re-process failed messages.
A scheduler (a la Quartz) has been added to support scheduled injection of jobs. The syntax is very similar to the grails Quartz plugin.
There is a demo project located in github.
Add the jesque plugin to grails, it will automatically pull in jesque with it's dependencies, and the grails redis plugin.
dependencies {
compile('org.grails.plugins:jesque:1.0.9')
}
You must also have redis installed in your environment.
Example to enqueue
class BackgroundJob {
def someOtherService //auto-wiring supported
def perform( arg1, arg2 ) {
def domainObject = DomainClass.get(arg1) //GORM supported
domainObject.message = arg2
domainObject.save()
}
}
class SomeOtherClass {
def jesqueService
def doWorkAsync() {
jesqueService.enqueue( 'myQueueName', BackgroundJob.simpleName, 1, 'hi there')
}
}
Workers can be started manually by calling
jesqueService.startWorker( 'DemoJesqueJobQueue', DemoJesqueJob.simpleName, DemoJesqueJob )
or automatically upon start-up with the following config
---
grails:
redis:
port: 6379
host: localhost
jesque:
enabled: true
pruneWorkersOnStartup: true
createWorkersOnStartup: true
schedulerThreadActive: true
delayedJobThreadActive: true
startPaused: false
autoFlush: true
workers:
DemoJesqueJobPool:
queueNames: DemoJesqueJobQueue
jobTypes:
- org.grails.jesque.demo.DemoJesqueJob
- org.grails.jesque.demo.DemoTwoJesqueJob
The redis pool used is configured in the redis plugin:
grails:
redis:
host: localhost
port: 6379
Or using sentinels
grails:
redis:
sentinels:
- 10.0.0.1:26379
- 10.0.0.2:26379
masterName: foobar
Jobs should be placed in grails-app/jobs similar to the Quartz plugin. However, to not clash with quartz, and to retain similarties with resque, the method to execute must be called perform.
You can run the script create-jesque-job to create a shell of a job for you automatically. The following will create a BackgroundJob in the grails-app/jobs folder.
grails create-jesque-job org.grails.jesque.demo.DemoJesqueJob
package org.grails.jesque.demo
import groovy.util.logging.Slf4j
@Slf4j
class DemoJesqueJob {
static queue = 'DemoJesqueJobQueue'
static workerPool = 'DemoJesqueJobPool'
static triggers = {
cron name: 'DemoJesqueJobTrigger', cronExpression: '0/15 * * * * ? *'
}
def perform() {
log.info "Executing Job"
}
}
You can define one or more custom WorkerListener classes that will be automaticly added to all workers started from within jesqueService
grails {
jesque {
}
custom {
listener.clazz = [LoggingWorkerListener] // accepts String, Class or List of String or Class
}
}
}
All Listeners have to implement the WorkerListener Interface otherwise they will simply be ignored
- Upgrade custom Listener and Worker to grails 3 support
- Ability to execute methods on services without creating a job object
- Wrap above ability automatically with annotation and dynamically creating a method with the same name + "Async" suffix
- Create grails/groovy docs (gdoc?) to extensively document options
- Dynamic wake time of delayed jobs thread to reduce polling

- Use Jesque's admin functionality to allow start/stop/pause of workers in a cluster
- 0.6.2 - release 2013-06-13
- Add ability to specify Redis DB
- 0.8.0 - TBD - 0.8.0-SNAPSHOT version available now

- Updated to grails version 2.3.8
- Move tests outside of main project
- Remove test and hibernate dependencies
- Updated dependencies
- 1.0.0 - Grails 3.x
- Some features have not been ported over yet such as custom Worker and Listener
- Design was changed to use list based jobTypes instead of Map for simplicity in YAML
