Sounds interesting, what do you have in mind as for the model artifact requirements, does it need to be a generated GPB, or you were planning to add support for any pojo, and use the internal GPB APIs for dynamically generate a PB message ? I'm asking because when I was playing with dynamic messages, I was having issues to consume these messages directly in a native GPB. If you want, I can commit GPB Helper for Dynamic Messages to sandbox and we could collaborate on this. Anyway, I believe this is going to be a good addition, particularly when using JAX-RS rest services for inter-server communication where parsing JSON/XML might not be as efficient. -- Luciano Resende http://people.apache.org/~lresende http://twitter.com/lresende1975 http://lresende.blogspot.com/
