Is there a way to attach one protocol buffer message to another as an arbitrary extension, i.e. without declaring it as an extension of the containing one? I realize that I could use a 'bytes' field in the container message instead of relying on extensions, but I'd prefer not to do this as my code could end up modifying the contained message many times before it is through, and this would involve numerous decodes and re-encodes of the bytes field.
There will only ever be one contained message object, so perhaps I could pre-allocate an extension id that gets overloaded for this purpose. Also my code works entirely in terms of dynamic messages and reflection (if that makes a difference). Any pointers would be much appreciated, Warren -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
