Hi,
I'm working on an application that requires streaming of large amounts of data (multi-megabyte) to clients. The data won't necessarily reside locally on the machine providing the web service and thus will be streamed from another node on the local network (trying to avoid copying the file from one machine on the local network to the machine hosting the web service). DataHandler (along with FileDataSource) works well for moving existing files but not files that are being written at the same time as the read occurs. I have found a few articles on the web indicating that axis has the capability to perform HTTP chunking and DIME streaming to handling such tasks, but have found no concrete examples of this. Has anyone had experience using HTTP chunking and DIME with Axis? Does anyone know if there are any articles or tutorials that explain this approach in detail available? Are there any other approaches that people would recommend?
Thanks,
Scott
