Class ProtoLiteUtils


  • @ExperimentalApi("Experimental until Lite is stable in protobuf")
    public final class ProtoLiteUtils
    extends java.lang.Object
    Utility methods for using protobuf with grpc.
    • Method Detail

      • setExtensionRegistry

        public static void setExtensionRegistry​(ExtensionRegistryLite newRegistry)
        Sets the global registry for proto marshalling shared across all servers and clients.

        Warning: This API will likely change over time. It is not possible to have separate registries per Process, Server, Channel, Service, or Method. This is intentional until there is a more appropriate API to set them.

        Warning: Do NOT modify the extension registry after setting it. It is thread safe to call setExtensionRegistry(com.google.protobuf.ExtensionRegistryLite), but not to modify the underlying object.

        If you need custom parsing behavior for protos, you will need to make your own MethodDescriptor.Marshaller for the time being.

      • marshallerWithRecursionLimit

        @ExperimentalApi("https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/10108")
        public static <T extends MessageLiteMethodDescriptor.Marshaller<T> marshallerWithRecursionLimit​(T defaultInstance,
                                                                                                          int recursionLimit)
        Creates a MethodDescriptor.Marshaller for protos of the same type as defaultInstance and a custom limit for the recursion depth. Any negative number will leave the limit to its default value as defined by the protobuf library.

        1.56.0
      • metadataMarshaller

        public static <T extends MessageLiteMetadata.BinaryMarshaller<T> metadataMarshaller​(T defaultInstance)
