I am trying to a create communication between client / server using protocol buffers. My problem is that the client sends different structures. say for example:
client wants person record to be written to data base or contact record to be written to database. Now I am able to serialize person and send it over to the server. Since the server doesnt know what structure it is(it can be contact structure or person structure) how can it deserialize. Is there a way to know what the structure type is so that the server can deserialize it to the corresponding structure?? I mean if you can serialize / deserialize only one kind of structure then it is a huge restriction. It will be great if someone sheds some light on how google uses it since it has around 12000 structures(protos) to communicate. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
