@Evan - Right. So in that case, we would use the writeDelimitedTo or some such equivalent option to stream a number of small messages together. I got this far. My problem is trying to make this work with the Jersey REST framework. Here, for each type of input/output you send and receive, provider classes are created. So, the same is done for the protobuf type as well. These provider classes can receive only protobuf Message type objects which are then writtent to the output stream. The writeDelimitedTo method writes to stream. I cannot convert this stream to a message type without actually creating a separate proto file to handle this.
Is there any way of working around this problem?
