Hey all,
Happy holidays first of all. I'm new to protocol buffers, but from
what I've worked with, it's pretty cool!
I was recently tasked (for another project) with investigating the use
of protocol buffers with netty (http://jboss.org/netty) as an
alternative RPC implementation to apache's
Thanks for your help - I found that I was exceeding the recursion
limit in CodedInputStream. I was able to instantiate my own
CodedInputStream and increase the limit, but it would be nice if some

Huh, I thought we did print a message there, but I guess not.
That said, you're the first person I've ever heard of who hit that limit
with (presumably) legitimate data. Consider designing you protocol
differently? The limit exists for security reasons (to avoid stack
overflows), so simply
I understand why it's there, and it makes sense for apps in general. I
admit I'm using proto bufs for general serialization purposes within
my app rather than the over-the-wire communication tool it was
designed as. It just seems much easier to use than
boost::serialization or other alternatives.
