exponential backoff support?

[Wilson MacGyver]

Hi,

I noticed google-http-java-client has support for exponential backoff.

http://code.google.com/p/google-http-java-client/wiki/ExponentialBackoff

does google api java client make use of it? if so, how do I enable it?

Thanks

You can set the backoff policy on any HttpRequest, such as:

ResponseObj obj = service.resource().method()

    .setBackOffPolicy(...)

    .execute();

Or, if you want to use the exponential back-off policy for all requests, set it up in the HttpRequestInitializer when you set up the service:

Service service = new Service(httpTransport, jsonFactory, new HttpRequestInitializer() {

    @Override

    public void initialize(HttpRequest req) {

      req.setBackOffPolicy(...);

      // Do any other initialization here, such as using a Credential to make authorized requests.

    }

  });

service.resource().method().execute(); // <-- this request will use the back-off policy you set
