RuntimeSchema.getSchema() throws NPE on fields with type Object about protostuff-googlecode-exported

Yep this is in the works (trunk).  Funny how I've an impl for this yesterday 
and was not able to finish it.

Thanks for reporting.

Btw, since you want immutability (final modifier), see

The impl for this is somewhat finished for pojos and inline (scalar) values.
Dynamic complex types like collections and maps can be implemented but it will 
not be efficient(creating collection schemas on the fly just to serialize the 
dynamic type)


So I'm against supporting it.  The responsibility will be left to the developer 
by using a pojo (cached schema) that wraps the collection/map.

Btw, I didn't expect any of your attached file to work.  The 
clazz.newInstance() would've been thrown.

I'm not sure what you mean that you didn't expect it to work?  It works fine, 
except for the NPE.

I meant that your pojos had final fields, unless you probably used 
sun.reflect.ReflectionFactory.getReflectionFactory().newConstructorForSerializat
ion()?

Nevermind .. didn't take a closer look at the source (clearly).

Implemented with support for complex types (multi-dimensional array, maps, 
collections, etc)
