Due to the popularity of gRPC, some frameworks or libraries have an integration layer for gRPC.

• Armeria: https://line.github.io/armeria/docs/server-grpc
• Heldion: https://helidon.io/docs/v2/#/se/grpc/01_introduction
• Micronaut: https://micronaut-projects.github.io/micronaut-grpc/latest/guide/index.html

Especially, Armeria has its own server/client implementations to serve/call a gRPC stub.
ProtoReflectionService is using the internal reference of a gRPC-Java server instance since 1.30.0 #6967.
That means a stub running without gRPC-Java server could not use ProtoReflectionService. line/armeria#2806

Armeria injects ServerServiceDefinitions to ProtoReflectionService using notifyOnBuild() hook.

If ProtoReflectionService supports better ways to build ProtoReflectionService,
it could be a good extension point for gRPC-Java ecosystem.
