Also don't have enough Java-fu, but I'd thought this was basically how this was solved: the messages override some function that cause the JavaVM to serialize using protobuf serialization. I was under the impression that the message internals would then no longer needed to implement Serializable.
(Specifically I think the magic is in http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/reference/java/serialized-form.html#com.google.protobuf.GeneratedMessageLite ) On Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 5:11 PM, Henner Zeller <h.zel...@acm.org> wrote: > On Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 16:01, Ben Wright <compuware...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I agree with J.S. on this one - there are many situations in Java EE > > environments where "Serializable" is checked or java serialization > > used when it's not simple or feasible to leverage protobuf > > serialization.
