Hi again,

I think that I encountered another bug in ProtoStream.

I have an object with a field of type byte[]. If I only annotate the field with @ProtoField like this:

    private byte[] image;

    @ProtoField(number = 20)
    public byte[] getImage() {
        return image;
    }

    public void setImage(byte[] image) {
        this.image = image;
    }

In the proto file generated, this field will be declared:

repeated int32 image = 20;

This works but the serialization format is much bigger than the original value.

What I expected is:

optional bytes image = 20;

So I tried to give the type hint:

    @ProtoField(number = 20, type = Type.BYTES)
    public byte[] getImage() {
        return image;
    }

I've got this error:

Exception in thread "main" org.infinispan.protostream.annotations.ProtoSchemaBuilderException: Incompatible types : byte vs BYTES

    at org.infinispan.protostream.annotations.impl.ProtoMessageTypeMetadata.getProtobufType(ProtoMessageTypeMetadata.java:511)

I then tried to add javaType:

    @ProtoField(number = 20, type = Type.BYTES, javaType = byte[].class)
    public byte[] getImage() {
        return image;
    }

The proto generated:

repeated bytes image = 20;

This should not be "repeated", and there's also another error when generating the marshaller:

protostream.javassist.CannotCompileException: [source error] syntax error near "

[B v = $2.readBytes();"

Could you fix this bug or could I make a pull request to fix it ?

Thanks,
