Direct Known Subclasses:

ProtobufJsonFormatMessageConverter

public class ProtobufMessageConverter
extends AbstractMessageConverter

An MessageConverter that reads and writes com.google.protobuf.Messages using Google Protocol Buffers.

To generate Message Java classes, you need to install the protoc binary.

This converter supports by default "application/x-protobuf" with the official "com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java" library.

"application/json" can be supported with the official "com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java-util" 3.x, with 3.3 or higher recommended.

Since:

protected boolean supports(Class<?> clazz)

Description copied from class: AbstractMessageConverter

Whether the given class is supported by this converter.

Specified by:

supports in class AbstractMessageConverter

Parameters:

clazz - the class to test for support

Returns:

true if supported; false otherwise

canConvertTo

protected boolean canConvertTo(Object payload,
 @Nullable
 MessageHeaders headers)

convertFromInternal

protected Object convertFromInternal(Message<?> message,
 Class<?> targetClass,
 @Nullable
 Object conversionHint)

Description copied from class: AbstractMessageConverter

Convert the message payload from serialized form to an Object.

Overrides:

convertFromInternal in class AbstractMessageConverter

Parameters:

message - the input message

targetClass - the target class for the conversion

conversionHint - an extra object passed to the MessageConverter, e.g. the associated MethodParameter (may be null}

Returns:
