"Dynamic" messages

[Tomas Kislan]

Hello,
i have little problem with "dynamic" messages
as i want to send with required message_type, and according to that
type i want to send different nested message along it

example:

message Message {
required int64 type = 1;

optional NestedMessage = 20;
optional AnotherNestedMessage = 21;
}

now those nested messages have some required fields, but themselves
are optional in message

so lets say if type == 1 i want to send NestedMessage, if type == 2
AnotherNestedMessage
but if i dont fill both messages, i get protobuf fatalexception that
the fields from the nested message, i dont want to use atm, are
missing

and thats kinda unwanted behaviour for me and i ask:
is there a possible solution how to overcome this?
or another way how to do different types of nested messages?
Thank you

Required-field checking is only recursively applied when a message is present. If your top-level Message only contains NestedMessage, the initialization code should not be checking the AnotherNestedMessage field to make sure that that submessage has all required fields populated. Can you provide a reproduction demonstrating the exception?
