Hello All,
I'm a bit confused on the use of protobuf.Any.
I assumed that when I made a message with an Any in it like so;
* message* Parameter {
* string* Name = 1;
google.protobuf.Any Value = 2;
}
And another message to feed in the 'Any' type;
message AnyParameterType {}
That I would be able to use the 'AnyParameterType to put 'any' data type I
wanted such as Int, Double, String, etc... into the Parameter message.
But I can't figure out how to use the AnyParameterType.Builder.setField()
method to do this. The problem I'm having is creating an instance of
FieldDescriptor to pass into the setField() method.
Is manually passing in a FieldDescriptor instance and an Object of my
choice the right approach for using my AnyParameterType message?
If so, could you provide an example of how to create the
FieldDescriptor instance?
Or do I have this all wrong? And what I really need to do is create a
'message' type for every data type I want to use, like so;
message IntType {
Int value = 1;
}
message DoubleType {
Double value = 1;
}
message StringType {
String value = 1;
}
I did try one of these 'type specific' messages, and it worked (I was able
to pass it into Any.pack()), but it seems like this would result in having
to rebuild my .proto file any time I came up with a new data type.
Thanks in advance for a push in the right direction.
