Hi All, I am fairly new to protobufs, so please bear with me. I am receiving protobuf messages that were compiled for C++ and I need to read them in Java. They are created WITHOUT descriptors by the provider and I cannot change that but I do have access to the base .proto files that the messages were based on.
My questions are: 1) What is the best/fastest way to generate the file descriptor(s) into Java? This should be equal to calling importer.import in C++ based on what I have read. 2) I assume that question 1 will involve a call out to protoc from Java. If so, how should that look in general and what command/options should be used? My goal is to get the file descriptor, after which I can get everything else from within Java 3) Is there any way to do this without the protoc callout? I am pretty sure there is not, but since I am here, I'll ask. I should mention that I can already get the routing key from within Java without the descriptor, so I can parse that to determine what base proto file that I need the descriptor for.
