I guess what I am trying to figure out is how much work it takes to get this kind of streaming working with Axiom and whether I am just better off using our StringDom implementation. It doesn't sound like there is anything in the axiom api by default to support this kind of streaming without creating my own implementations of certain classes. If that is the case, I would rather use our implementation that has been tested to work for our purposes.

Thanks,

Tammy

you are doing, and you have to be careful as to what methods get called on
the OMSourcedElementImpl (it doesn't seem to take much to cause the whole
thing to inflate - try to avoid doing anything that causes the getReader()
method to get called before you are ready to start sending stuff out the
door), but we've managed to get true streaming to work using Axis2/Axiom,
which saves a lot of transient memory.

Subject: Re: [AXIOM] How to serialize axiom document without building
objects in memory

Before we started looking at axiom, we created a class called StringDom that extends the w3c dom classes. Each time an appendChild is called, this dom implementation writes the child to an outputstream/writer. That way, when we are building a large dom, the elements are not actually stored in memory but are directly flushed to the outputstream/writer. Of course, the disadvantage of this technique is that the dom elements must be appended in the exact order they will be written to output. My question is whether axiom allows the same kind of absolutely direct serialization when a child is appended to a parent? If so, how do I do it?

Thanks,

Tammy,
I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do... But the
serialzeAndConsume(...) should not hold it the element in memory.

Check the implementation of the Writer, and also check if the
serialize(...) method will work.

If none of this works, then what version of axis/axiom are you using?

Subject: [AXIOM] How to serialize axiom document without building
objects in memory

I have the following code:

new Thread(new ReadDeferred(writer, (OMElement) returnData.createRawDataOutputFromTable(doc,
            inputDatasetId,
            outputDatasetId, type, false)
               )).start();
        ;
        writer.close();

class ReadDeferred
    implements Runnable
{
    Writer writer = null;
    OMElement topElement = null;
    public ReadDeferred(Writer writer, OMElement topElement)
    {
        this.writer = writer;
        this.topElement = topElement;
    }

    public void run()
    {
        try
        {
            topElement.serializeAndConsume(writer);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            InitializationServlet.error("", ex);
        }
    }
}


I am trying to flush the output of createRawDataOutputFromTable directly

to a file without creating a dom tree. The createRawDataOutputFromTable method builds an OMDocument using a series of append child statements. The above code still holds the whole dom tree in memory before it writes

to a file. Is there a way I can prevent this? I essentially want every appendChild to write the child to the file.
