We use protobuf in Drizzle as a mechanism to serialize information into files on disk. We are also send some of the messages over the network - depending on what it is.
If you need a transport mechanism, I suggest checking out setting up a gearman server (https://edge.launchpad.net/gearmand/+download) and then using the Java worker interface https://edge.launchpad.net/gearmanij to send protobuf messages around. (There are a bazillion different ways to do this, of course, this is just one we happen to be working with a lot ourselves and one which all of the pieces are available) Monty JavaSrvcs wrote: > I can't imagine any other use than using it to send data over the > network and use on the other end. > In fact is this not what it was invented for (communication). > > On 30 jun, 16:07, Kenton Varda <ken...@google.com> wrote: >> There are tons of resources on the internet and in books explaining how to >> do network programming in Java.
