(I think my previous reply didn't arrive)
Thanks Kenton, this worked fine for me.
Probably, with DynamicMessageFactory I was trying to solve in a single
attempt, dynamic generation of both classes known in compile-time and
unknown. I forgot then to check back again with MessageFactory. I
guess, that I have learned the lesson about MessageFactory and
DynamicMessageFactory differences :)
Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it
regards
