Top level messages usually need to be pojos.
The workaround for that is to register a custom schema and delegate.
I've attached the files which you can use in your project (includes the 
testcase)

That is the recommended way when working with non-pojos.
In this case, since Properties is like a Map<String,String>, it is treated like 
a message.

For scalar types, only a custom delegate is needed.

Thank you very much for your helpful response!
Your solution works great except it doesn't preserve "default" values, but we 
can live without them.
