I have an application that already has a ton of Soap web services that basically serve up JPA entities. I use this to communicate data to a Silverlight application.
Soap is horribly slow, one of our messages is 10MB!!! The equivalent protobuf message is 300K! I'm looking for an easy way to start using PBs instead of Soap. From what I've gathered so far, it would basically require a re-write to convert to conventional PB messages and services as there is, to my knowledge, no automatic conversion between Java beans and java PB messages. I've looked in to the protobuf-net project. This project supports arbitrary object serialization, and does so extremely quickly. I can't find anything similar for Java. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm considering writing an extension to the Java protobuf package to allow for protobuf-net-like on the fly serialization of Java beans. Would anyone else find this useful? Thanks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
