how do you add a constructor to a GearmanFunction?

Hi Khai:

I believe The problem is that DefaultGearmanFunctionFactory calls the no-arg constructor on the function when it creates a new instance of the function so I suspect this is why it is not working(I am not near my computer at the moment so I can't confirm this).

You could create your own impl of a GearmanFunctionFactory (which could extend DefaultGearmanFunctionFactory) that calls the right constructor.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have it working now.
