I am wondering how the paging settings differ in DataService objects vs destinations. Here is what I am trying to accomplish.
I have a large data set (over 7000 nested contact objects) coming from Hibernate. I need to bring them all in so that I can used pattern matching and DoubleMetaphone matching on the client to quickly look for similar objects. However, in bringing over all the objects in one fill, I often run into timeout errors in flash player. What I thought would be safer/cleaner is to bring them in pages of 200 or 300 at a time through multiple calls to the server. Is that something I have to do manually in Flex or if I set up paging in the DataService will that bring over the objects in smaller batches? That's how I understand it, but before I dive into the code, I wanted some feedback from others who have experience with configuring paging. I am a little confused by all the paging settings and how to use them effectively. Thanks, Kevin
