[protobuf] Deserializng JSON tagged unions?
I'm looking to generate de/serialization for json tagged union messages
from an external rest api, eg.
{ type: "error", message: "wrong"} or { type:"ok", response: { a: 1, b: 2}}.
Reading the docs it seems like an any valued field the type field modified
json_name would work similarly, although this isn't supported.
Is there an existing .proto message that would map to those messages? Perhaps
with some annotation to this more obvious schema, or being able to specify
a custom tag to determine which case of a oneof is in use (instead of the
default enum value)?
message Error {
string message = 1;
}
message Second {
int64 response = 1;
}
message MyUnion {
oneof Either {
Error err = 1;
Ok ok = 2;
}
}

Re: [protobuf] Deserializng JSON tagged unions?
That does work, but it seems like it creates a lot of unnecessary work if
there are many fields.
Is there a better way to handle a schema more like this?
{ type: "error", message: "wrong"} or { type:"ok", a: 1, b:2, c:3, d:4,
... }.

[protobuf] protocol buffers and client-server communication
Hi all i am new to protocol buffer, and was wondering if i can use it for my needs. Basically, i am trying to implement a client-server communication where i can have this type of messages: - INCOMING (from client to server) - String - a Savings Object - a Share object - OUTCOMING (from server to client) - String - a List of Savings objects - a List of Share object Basically, what i am trying to say is that i have N types of messages from client to server and M types of messages from server to client, and all this messages are differents from each other (having in total N + M) types of messages. I am guessing i will need 1 proto file for each type of message, correct? w/kindest regards marco -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Protocol Buffers group.

[protobuf] Problem when generating classes
Hi all
i am starting to learn protobuffers so that i can use them alongside
Netty
I have created this simple .proto file
package tutorial;
option java_package = com.example.messages;
option java_outer_classname = MessageProtos;
message Message {
required string content = 1;
enum MessageType {
TEST = 0;
DEBUG = 1;
DO_TASK = 2;
}
required MessageType type = 2;
}
THis has generated a class with two methods that Errors out due to
'Cannot dereference boolean'
public static com.example.messages.MessageProtos.Message
parseDelimitedFrom(java.io.InputStream input)
throws java.io.IOException {
return newBuilder().mergeDelimitedFrom(input).buildParsed();
}
public static com.example.messages.MessageProtos.Message
parseDelimitedFrom(
java.io.InputStream input,
com.google.protobuf.ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)
throws java.io.IOException {
return newBuilder().mergeDelimitedFrom(input, extensionRegistry)
.buildParsed();
}
could anyone tell me what have i done wrong in my .proto file?
thanks and regards

Hello,
PLs ignore my message
It was a Netty problem as i was using multiple decoders / encoders /

[protobuf] Error with Netty and extensions
Hi all
i am trying to use extensions with protobuf and Netty
here's my proto file
package tutorial;
option java_package = com.example.messages;
option java_outer_classname = MessageProtos;
option optimize_for = LITE_RUNTIME;
enum MessageType {
TEST = 0;
DEBUG = 1;
DO_TASK = 2;
SPECIAL = 3;
}
message Message {
required string content = 1;
required MessageType type = 2;
extensions 3 to 99;
}
extend Message {
optional string enhancedContent = 3;
optional Share share = 4;
optional int32 bar = 5;
}
message Share {
required string ticker = 10;
required string company = 11;
required double price = 12;
}
I am setting extensions this way in my client
if(line.startsWith(task)) {
builder.setType(MessageProtos.MessageType.DO_TASK);
builder.setExtension(MessageProtos.bar, 1);
} else {
builder.setType(MessageProtos.MessageType.DEBUG);
}
I have written an unit test which works fine
@Test
public void testExtensions() throws Exception {
MessageProtos.Message.Builder builder =
MessageProtos.Message.newBuilder();
builder.setExtension(MessageProtos.bar, 1);
builder.setContent(foobar);
builder.setType(MessageProtos.MessageType.DEBUG);
MessageProtos.Message message = builder.build();
Assert.assertTrue(message.hasExtension(MessageProtos.bar));
}
However, on the serverside i am getting this exception

I have already talked to dtrott and he confirmed his plugin runs under the BSD license. Time allowing I will attempt to contact him and suggest an official release.

I can't seem to find anything about licenses in that code and IANAL anyway. That said, much of that code is derived from my original code, which was under the same license as protobuf anyway. Might be worth emailing him to make sure that the licensing is what you think it is. Anyway, I definitely support a community effort to build a better plugin. I'd suggest reaching out to dtrott and discussing collaboration and if you guys want to work on making some version of either plugin official then we can get CLAs for you guys and do that.

Re: [protobuf] Deserializng JSON tagged unions?
Unnecessary being that deserialization ismore than a switch on the type.
The Union approach also puts all the fields on one object, as opposed to
separating by the type field - this is what I wanted to confirm as
unsupported by protobuf.
