Question

We’ve got a Rails app using Resque to push jobs on the queue. The consumer of the jobs is a Java app using the Jesque client. Both apps run on Heroku. What I can’t figure out is how to use Jesque’s ConfigBuilder class to populate the redis connection parameters from Heroku’s REDISTOGO_URL config var. The source documentation is pretty thin. Examples other than the default final Config config = new ConfigBuilder().build(); would be great.

Answer 1

I’m not sure how to do it with Jesque’s ConfigBuilder but here is how you do it with a JedisPool:

URI redisURI = new URI(System.getenv("REDISTOGO_URL"));
JedisPool pool = new JedisPool(new JedisPoolConfig(),
    redisURI.getHost(), 
    redisURI.getPort(),
    Protocol.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT, 
    redisURI.getUserInfo().split(":",2)[1]);
