Hello! I've just started to work with Google App Engine. So I'm noob, and I ask for your patience. And I've never programmed with Java before, so I'm a noob twice. (but I'm a Flash Developer and am familiar with programming).
I decided to write a small jabber bot running on Google App Engine. Have read an official tutorial ( http://code.google.com/intl/uk-UA/appengine/articles/using_xmpp.html ) Well it was kinda mess but I managed to make a simple bot which says "hello" as an answer to anything. I don't even understand how did it work after deployment, cause i couldn't test anything locally. Kinda magic from google... I still dont understand the basic concept of how it all works, what class is triggered first, which one is basic, how they interact etc., and nobody even tried to explain that in Google documentation. May be you could advise me also some very VERY simple basic tutorials for the super noobs in the technology.. But never mind, I have a different topic here. Now I have a simple question — I want my bot to make an action every 5 minutes. How can I set a scheduled event in Java? I've tried to understand the TasksQueue concept (from here http://code.google.com/intl/uk/appengine/docs/java/taskqueue/overview.html ) But it makes absolutely no sense to me. I just need to trigger one function every 5 mins. What is the easiest way to do it?
