## Methods

### getQueue(String queueName)

    public abstract Queue getQueue(String queueName)

Returns the [Queue](https://docs.cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java-gen2/reference/services/bundled/latest/com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue.Queue) by name.

The returned [Queue](https://docs.cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java-gen2/reference/services/bundled/latest/com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue.Queue) object may not necessarily refer to an existing queue. Queues
must be configured before they may be used. Attempting to use a non-existing queue name may
result in errors at the point of use of the [Queue](https://docs.cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java-gen2/reference/services/bundled/latest/com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue.Queue) object and not when calling [#getQueue(String)](https://docs.cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java-gen2/reference/services/bundled/latest/com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue.IQueueFactory#com_google_appengine_api_taskqueue_IQueueFactory_getQueue_java_lang_String_).
