Hi, I have just read the tutorials and the some threads in these forums, but there's one thing that I can't find an answer for. I'm currently using a router that is responsible to route different messages to different servers. The protocol that we are currently using is a very simple. Basically header:tag=value:tag=value: and so on.
The router looks for a field with certain name (e.g. cookie) and routes a message based on the information in the value of that tag, and also modifies that field. Is it possible to write a similar router for PB? The router that we have shouldn't know about all message types. It just need to know that a field with a certain tag always should exist and that the field has a value. I don't parse the data of the wire into messages, do modifications and then write them back to the wire. So, in short. How to do that using PB? I'm also a bit curious on how to decode arbritrary messages, modify them and write tham back (even if I won't do that). How do you normally modify messages since they are immutable? Is there a way to get a builder for a certain message, and have the builder initialized so that it represents a copy of the original message? I'm using Java if that makes a difference Thanks Kaj --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
