I couldnt find a way to mask certain fields in protobuf structure. I did read about the FieldMaskUtil and tried few examples but it seems to do the reverse i.e copy fields which are mentioned in FieldMask which is different from what i wanted. Here's the sample structure and corresponding Test code.
Proto:
syntax = "proto3";
package model;
option java_package = "test.demo.services.protobuf.customer.model";
option java_outer_classname = "CustomerProto";
message Accounts {
repeated Account account = 1;
}
message Account {
int32 id = 1;
string number = 2;
int32 customer_id = 3;
}
message Customers {
repeated Customer customers = 1;
}
message Customer {
int32 id = 1;
string pesel = 2;
string name = 3;
CustomerType type = 4;
repeated Account accounts = 5;
enum CustomerType {
INDIVIDUAL = 0;
COMPANY = 1;
}
}
Here's sample test code
package test.demo.services.protobuf.customer.model;
import org.junit.Test;
import test.demo.services.protobuf.customer.model.CustomerProto.Customer;
import com.google.protobuf.util.FieldMaskUtil;
public class TestMerge {
@Test
public void eraseFields() {
Customer request = Customer.newBuilder().setId(10).setPesel("12345").setName("Harry Alto").build();
// Erase name
Customer.Builder modifieldRequest = Customer.newBuilder();
FieldMaskUtil.merge(FieldMaskUtil.fromString("name"), request, modifieldRequest);
System.out.println( modifieldRequest.build().toString());
}
}
Here's the output:
name: "Harry Alto"
What i would have expected is to print everything other than name
id: 10
pesel: "12345"
Is there a way to do what i want
