Unable to pass protobuf predefined types as repeated values and values in messages

[BuddhiWathsala]

Description:
Currently, we can pass Any type messages, but Ballerina gRPC is unable to pass Any type arrays (i.e. repeated Any types).

Try to run a sample using the following proto definition.

syntax = "proto3";

import "google/protobuf/any.proto";

service AnyTypeArray {
  rpc unaryCall1(AnyTypeArrayRequest) returns (AnyTypeArrayResponse) {}
}

message AnyTypeArrayRequest {
    string name = 1;
    repeated google.protobuf.Any details = 2;
};

message AnyTypeArrayResponse {
   string name = 1;
   int32 code = 2;
   repeated google.protobuf.Any details = 3;
};

This is applicable for other predefined types - Timestamp, Duration, and Struct
