Jubb is a simple distributed job queue with a minimal footprint and setup cost. It features:
- Persistent FIFO queuing of jobs.
- A simple REST API for adding and removing jobs, and retrieving queue status information.
- A job is an arbitrary chunk of text. The default serialization option is to use JSON, but there's nothing stopping you from going with XML, regular Java serialization, YAML or whatever.
- Support for attaching metadata to jobs using HTTP headers.
Contains code common to all server-side implementations. In order to
simplify integration the JubbFacade class is provided. This class
contains all the functionality for handling HTTP requests against the
jubb queues, and the idea is that the actual server implementations
can simply delegate to this class. For example, the QueueServlet
class is a very thin wrapper around JubbFacade that delegates all
calls to doGet() and doPost().
This is a simple Servlet-based jubb server. It is packaged as WAR file and can be deployed to any standard J2EE servlet container.
To start the server in development mode (default port: 8081), run the following:
mvn jetty:run
Contains classes for a jubb client implementation. The class
JsonJubbClient provide methods for direct access to the jubb queue,
while JubbProducer and JubbConsumer provide a higher-level,
asynchronous interface.
Deploy jubb-servlet.war as you normally would with a regular web application.
