Thank you. I had the same conversation here
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/protobuf/JwiAkWbEAYI and I came to conclusion that Any is for messages with type and it is not good for java serialization I tried it and I got this error. Type of the Any message does not match the given class. Another problem is, since I don't know how to convert bytes (ByteString proto in Java) in message to Java Object I had to manually parse the protos in my application code here. https://github.com/omidp/grpc-crud/blob/master/grpc-server/src/main/java/com/omid/grpc/service/PersonServiceImpl.java#L68 what is the correct way of doing this ?

It's never a good idea to do the (de-)serialization manually. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "grpc.io" group.
