Backgroundrb devel - Oct 2006 - accessing args in worker

If, in the controller, I start a worker and pass in an argument like this:

session[:job_key] = MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :foo_worker,
                                             :args => {:emrec_id =>
@emrec.id})

How do I access the value in the worker?  I can''t seem to figure it out
;-p

Thanks!
Bill

  def do_work(args)
    @emred_id = args[:emrec_id]
    # ... do more stuff ...
  end

Hey Bill-


	You will be able to access that hash in your do_work method as args 
[:emrec_id]
