[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (IPROTO-99) Ability to define an empty proto message via Pojo annotations

[Ryan Emerson (Jira)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/IPROTO-99?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ryan Emerson updated IPROTO-99:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
In some cases it's useful for a empty protobuf message to be sent, for example formalising an implementation type.

Currently when trying to define an empty proto message by annotating a class with just {{ProtoName}} annotation, the following error is thrown at compile time:


{code:java}
Error:(71, 8) java: Class org.infinispan.notifications.cachelistener.cluster.AbstractClusterListenerUtilTest.StringAppender does not have any @ProtoField annotated fields. The class should be either annotated or it should have a custom marshaller.
{code}

It's possible to workaround this by simply creating a {{@Protofield}} annotation on a class variable which is never initialised.
