I'm looking for Java implementation of Protocol Buffer using annotation the same way it is implemented in protobuf-net project. I just want the easy of use of annotation without the need to constantly compile the .proto file using protoc.

Do you mean looking at the code of protobuf-net and translate it to Java?Ido Ran– Ido Ran2011-10-09 21:46:31 +00:00Commented Oct 9, 2011 at 21:46

2I mean I'm the author of protobuf-net, and it would be an interesting challenge to port it; unfortunately my java knowledge is fairly minimal.Marc Gravell– Marc Gravell2011-10-10 09:54:51 +00:00Commented Oct 10, 2011 at 9:54

The Protostuff library can serialize annotated POJOs: https://protostuff.github.io/docs/protostuff-runtime/

Thanks, that looks good. I'll try to use it inside Jersey container
Aside from great Protostuff library that is already mentioned, perhaps you might also consider trying out JSON instead -- unless you absolutely must use protobuf due to compatibility reasons. JSON processing on Java is not only very convenient (annotation-based, auto-detection), it is also competitive in performance (see jvm-serializers results, for example).
