Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to extract the contents of a
serialized string without knowing ahead of time what kind of message
it is?
For example: I'm using tcp to send data back and fourth. On one side
I create a message and serialize the data, and on the receiving side I
'ParseFromString' and check the information. However, I have
different types of messages being sent so the receiving side has no
idea what it is actually getting.
example .proto file [messages actually contain field, taken out for
simplicity] which creates 'dtm_pb2' after compiling
package dtm;
message ping {
}
message statusUpdate {
}
message findWorker {
}
so in my code on the receiving end I have:
msg = dtm_pb2()
msg.ParseFromString(message)
this gives an error.
Is there any way to initialize the msg variable and extract the
information??
If I knew what kind of message it was I could always use:
msg = dtm_pb2.statusUpdate()
msg.ParseFromString(message)
and this would work fine, but this is no a viable solution for me.
thanks,
Nima
