findMessageTypeByName

public Descriptors.Descriptor findMessageTypeByName(String name)

Find a message type in the file by name. Does not find nested types.

Parameters:

name - The unqualified type name to look for.

Returns:

The message type's descriptor, or null if not found.

findEnumTypeByName

public Descriptors.EnumDescriptor findEnumTypeByName(String name)

Find an enum type in the file by name. Does not find nested types.

Parameters:

name - The unqualified type name to look for.

Returns:

The enum type's descriptor, or null if not found.

findServiceByName

public Descriptors.ServiceDescriptor findServiceByName(String name)

Find a service type in the file by name.

Parameters:

name - The unqualified type name to look for.

Returns:

The service type's descriptor, or null if not found.

findExtensionByName

public Descriptors.FieldDescriptor findExtensionByName(String name)

Find an extension in the file by name. Does not find extensions nested inside message types.

Parameters:

name - The unqualified extension name to look for.

Returns:

The extension's descriptor, or null if not found.

buildFrom

public static Descriptors.FileDescriptor buildFrom(DescriptorProtos.FileDescriptorProto proto,
                                                   Descriptors.FileDescriptor[] dependencies)
                                            throws Descriptors.DescriptorValidationException

Construct a FileDescriptor.

Parameters:

proto - the protocol message form of the FileDescriptort

dependencies - FileDescriptors corresponding to all of the file's dependencies

Throws:

Descriptors.DescriptorValidationException - proto is not a valid descriptor. This can occur for a number of reasons; for instance, because a field has an undefined type or because two messages were defined with the same name.

buildFrom

public static Descriptors.FileDescriptor buildFrom(DescriptorProtos.FileDescriptorProto proto,
                                                   Descriptors.FileDescriptor[] dependencies,
                                                   boolean allowUnknownDependencies)
                                            throws Descriptors.DescriptorValidationException

Construct a FileDescriptor.

Parameters:

proto - the protocol message form of the FileDescriptor

dependencies - FileDescriptors corresponding to all of the file's dependencies

allowUnknownDependencies - if true, non-existing dependencies will be ignored and undefined message types will be replaced with a placeholder type. Undefined enum types still cause a DescriptorValidationException.

Throws:

Descriptors.DescriptorValidationException - proto is not a valid descriptor. This can occur for a number of reasons; for instance, because a field has an undefined type or because two messages were defined with the same name.

internalBuildGeneratedFileFrom

@Deprecated
public static void internalBuildGeneratedFileFrom(String[] descriptorDataParts,
                                                  Descriptors.FileDescriptor[] dependencies,
                                                  Descriptors.FileDescriptor.InternalDescriptorAssigner descriptorAssigner)

Deprecated.

This method is for backward compatibility with generated code which passed an InternalDescriptorAssigner.

internalBuildGeneratedFileFrom

public static Descriptors.FileDescriptor internalBuildGeneratedFileFrom(String[] descriptorDataParts,
                                                                        Descriptors.FileDescriptor[] dependencies)

This method is to be called by generated code only. It is equivalent to buildFrom except that the FileDescriptorProto is encoded in protocol buffer wire format.

internalBuildGeneratedFileFrom

@Deprecated
public static void internalBuildGeneratedFileFrom(String[] descriptorDataParts,
                                                  Class<?> descriptorOuterClass,
                                                  String[] dependencyClassNames,
                                                  String[] dependencyFileNames,
                                                  Descriptors.FileDescriptor.InternalDescriptorAssigner descriptorAssigner)

Deprecated.

This method is for backward compatibility with generated code which passed an InternalDescriptorAssigner.

internalBuildGeneratedFileFrom

public static Descriptors.FileDescriptor internalBuildGeneratedFileFrom(String[] descriptorDataParts,
                                                                        Class<?> descriptorOuterClass,
                                                                        String[] dependencyClassNames,
                                                                        String[] dependencyFileNames)

This method is to be called by generated code only. It uses Java reflection to load the dependencies' descriptors.

internalUpdateFileDescriptor

public static void internalUpdateFileDescriptor(Descriptors.FileDescriptor descriptor,
                                                ExtensionRegistry registry)

This method is to be called by generated code only. It is used to update the FileDescriptorProto associated with the descriptor by parsing it again with the given ExtensionRegistry. This is needed to recognize custom options.
