Hi,

I'm currently trying to integrate protobuf into Netty - 
http://www.jboss.org/netty/
I took a look into the Javadoc, but I couldn't find a clearly
documented way to get a parser for a certain message type.

For example, let's say that I have generated a Java message type
'Person' from a .proto file.  I can convert it into a byte array by
calling Message.toByteArray(), because the generated class 'Person'
implements Message.  In contrast, I can't find a way to call parseFrom
() without using Java reflection API.  It would be nice if I can do
something like this:

    Parser<Person> p = ParserFactory.getParser(Person.class);
    Person person = p.parseFrom(...);

Is this feature already available?  Or, at least it would be nice if I
can reduce the usage of reflection API.  For example, I could get the
parser using the reflection API and keep its reference.

Thanks in advance,
Trustin
