Alex Van Boxel updated BEAM-5967:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
The ProtoCoder does make some assumptions about static messages being 
available. The DynamicMessage doesn't have some of them, mainly because the 
proto schema is defined at runtime and not at compile time.

Does it make sense to make a special coder for DynamicMessage or build it into 
the normal ProtoCoder.

Here is an example of the assumtion being made in the current Codec:
{code:java}
try {
  @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
  T protoMessageInstance = (T) 
protoMessageClass.getMethod("getDefaultInstance").invoke(null);
  @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
  Parser<T> tParser = (Parser<T>) protoMessageInstance.getParserForType();
  memoizedParser = tParser;
} catch (IllegalAccessException | InvocationTargetException | 
NoSuchMethodException e) {
  throw new IllegalArgumentException(e);
}
{code}
