Re: where are the examples
Google uses its own internal RPC implementation, and I don't think we can endorse a particular third-party one as better than the others. I'd tell you which one I personally found most beneficial, but I have no experience with any of them.

Re: where are the examples
We have our own system. While we would love to open source it in principle, it is currently tightly coupled to our internal datacenter and machine configurations, so we can't really release the code as-is. I personally hope that we manage to get it out eventually but I have no idea if or when it would happen.

Re: where are the examples
Protocol Buffers provides a way to convert between flat byte arrays and structured data. This is obviously useful for network communication, but protocol buffers does not provide any explicit networking support. It's up to you to take the byte array generated by protocol buffers and send it over the network.

Re: where are the examples
Is there a full compilable example (in Java) on how to do this ? What sort of service would I need to be running on a server to send data (and have the server receive and convert the flat byte array into a Java object).

Re: where are the examples
There are tons of resources on the internet and in books explaining how to do network programming in Java. Sorry, but this is really outside the scope of protocol buffers.

Re: where are the examples
You could look at one of the open source RPC implementations listed here: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/wiki/ThirdPartyAddOns#RPC_Implementations Network communication is non-trivial. Trying to demonstrate it with an example would make for a very big example of which only a few lines of code would have anything to do with protocol buffers. Worse, the example would probably only be a naive implementation not suitable for real-world use, which could lead people down the wrong path. A non-naive implementation would be big enough to be its own project, which is far too much work to put into an example. We could provide an example that integrates protocol buffers with some existing RPC implementation, but there are so many to choose from, and we would not be demonstrating much that is not already demonstrated by that RPC system's own documentation. We'd just be taking their examples and adding calls to protobuf parsing and serialization at the ends. It doesn't seem worthwhile. And yes, many people use protocol buffers for disk storage rather than networking.
