Ah, thanks for the response! That wasn't it though - Calling
.getRepeatedFieldBuilder(FieldDescriptor, int) against a Builder I'm just
starting to populate will inevitably give only IndexOutOfBounds
exceptions... Since nothing's set in the repeated field yet!
But your response did give give me a huge hint: LOTS of new functionality
for working with repeated field builders was added in the November 2014
release to Github. I was still using the release from July. So I didn't
see .newBuilderForField(FieldDescriptor)... that was what I needed! After
upgrading to the latest branch I was up and going in no time.
Here's my final (working!) code:
case MESSAGE:
Message.Builder embeddedMessageBuilder =
messageBuilder.newBuilderForField(fieldDescriptor);
ClassT type = (ClassT)
embeddedMessageBuilder.getDefaultInstanceForType().getClass();
for (T t : fromDBList((BasicBSONList) object.get(fieldName),
type)) {
messageBuilder.addRepeatedField(fieldDescriptor, t);
}
break;
It's still a bit janky that I construct a Builder to get its
DefaultInstance to then get its Class (I do this because I call my methods
recursively, and the top-most method needs a hint as to the top-most
Object's class)... But, hey, it works for now. If there's more elegant
ways to get a Class from a repeated FieldDescriptor, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!!

As it's a repeated field, you should use getRepeatedFieldBuilder.

Hi There,
I'm writing a utility to convert data stored in MongoDB back to protocol
buffer format. My strategy is to look for each field in the protocol
buffer definition, and if there's a matching field from my MongoDB object,
then pull that data and set it on my protocol buffer builder. This works
great, except for embedded messages. I can't figure out how to create a
Builder for an embedded message.
Here's my first try:
switch (fieldDescriptor.getJavaType()) {
...
case MESSAGE:
ClassT type = (ClassT)
fieldDescriptor.getDefaultValue().getClass(); // getDefaultValue throws.
messageBuilder.addRepeatedField(fieldDescriptor,
fromDBObject((BasicBSONObject) object.get(fieldName),
type));
break;
But the noted line throws with the error,
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: FieldDescriptor.getDefaultValue()
called on an embedded message field.
Here's my second try:
switch (fieldDescriptor.getJavaType()) {
...
case MESSAGE:
Message.Builder embeddedMessageBuilder =
messageBuilder.getFieldBuilder(fieldDescriptor); // getFieldBuilder throws.
ClassT type = (ClassT)
embeddedMessageBuilder.getDefaultInstanceForType().getClass();
messageBuilder.addRepeatedField(fieldDescriptor,
fromDBObject((BasicBSONObject) object.get(fieldName),
type));
break;
Here, the noted line throws with the error,
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: getFieldBuilder() called on a
non-Message type.
I'm not sure what else to try. My question boils down to a very simple
one: Given a FieldDescriptor that describes an embedded repeated MESSAGE
field, how can you create a Builder for it?
Thanks!
