In the C++ API, given a message one can ask for Descriptor()->full_name(). We use this in a framing header to support multi-typed message stream. Also in C++, I can do this to recreate the message given its name:
MessageFactory* factory = MessageFactory::generated_factory(); const Descriptor *descriptor = DescriptorPool::generated_pool()-> FindMessageTypeByName(messageName); Message *message = factory->GetPrototype(descriptor)->New(); message->ParseFromArray(buffer, size); However I am struggling to find the equivalent to generated_pool() in Java. I think I need to do something like this: Descriptors.FileDescriptor descriptor = // how do I get this? Builder builder = descriptor.findMessageTypeByName().toProto(). newBuilderForType(); builder.mergeFrom(buffer); Message message = builder.build(); Please fill in the blank and comment on this approach?
