I've got a java server and a c++ client, client sends a message to the server.
In a first moment we had the message structure made by simple format like strings or integers, and the message sending/receiving with serialization and deserialization were working perfectly. Nowadays we added a "enum" in the structure and now on the java side, the deserialization doesn't work anymore: c++ client sending: bool Client::SendMsg(const char* pStr) { if (send(m_iSock, (char *) pStr, strlen(pStr), 0) == -1) // send(id_socket,stringa,lunghezza stringa,flags) { perror("Client::SendString, send"); return false; } return true } //on the client'smain ss=(const char*)malloc(1000); ss = obj.c_str(); mylink.SendMsg(ss); java server receiving: public int ReceiveMsg() throws IOException { InputStream InMsg = sock.getInputStream(); ProtoMessage Msg = ProtoMessage.parseFrom(InMsg); //THIS THROWS THE ERROR sock.close; } the error is: Exception in thread "main" com.google.protobuf.InvalidProtocolBufferException: While parsing a protocol message, the input ended unexpectedly in the middle of a field. This could mean either than the input has been truncated or that an embedded message misreported its own length. at com.google.protobuf.InvalidProtocolBufferException.truncatedMessage(InvalidProtocolBufferException.java: 49) at com.google.protobuf.CodedInputStream.refillBuffer(CodedInputStream.java: 711) at com.google.protobuf.CodedInputStream.readRawByte(CodedInputStream.java: 734) at com.google.protobuf.CodedInputStream.readRawVarint32(CodedInputStream.java: 338) at com.google.protobuf.CodedInputStream.readInt32(CodedInputStream.java: 198) On the other side otherwise c++ client can deserialize the stream perfectly. I'm gettin mad, without the enum the send/receive is working! any ideas? thanks in advance Enrico -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
