Backgroundrb devel - Sep 2008 - Clearing cached results

I''m trying to figure out how to clear the for a worker from my  
controller.

In my aysnc_xxx process I set cache[key]. However, I don''t see an easy
way to clear the cache from a controller with invoking something on  
the worker.

What I was looking for was something like

MiddleMan(:worker_name, :worker_key_name).cache[key]
Is there something like that and I''m just missing it or do I need to  
create a "clear_cache" function on my worker and call that when I need
to clear the cache?

Thanks,
Curtis

Add following to rails_worker_proxy.rb file:

diff --git a/lib/backgroundrb/rails_worker_proxy.rb
b/lib/backgroundrb/rails_worker_proxy.rb
index 0205f07..2b0a080 100644
--- a/lib/backgroundrb/rails_worker_proxy.rb
+++ b/lib/backgroundrb/rails_worker_proxy.rb
@@ -105,6 +105,13 @@ module BackgrounDRb
       middle_man.cache[gen_key(options)]
     end
 
+    def reset_memcache_result(job_key,value)
+      options = compact(:worker => worker_name,:worker_key =>
worker_key,:job_key => job_key)
+      key = gen_key(options)
+      middle_man.cache[key] = value
+      value
+    end
+
     def return_result result
       result = Array(result)
       result.size <= 1 ? result[0] : result

And use it with:

MiddleMan.worker(:foo_worker).reset_memcache_result("key",value)

It will be checked in soonish (need to write testcases and stuff)
