I'm all SOAPy and of course you're right about DataSources but in that case the whole source would have to be completely available somewhere, right? I should have the bytes ready either in memory or in a file or something. What I want to do is get thousands of objects from the database using a ResultSetExtractor which allows me to loop through the resultset and then handle each record separately and send it directly to the client, as I loop through the resultset. The first bit I got working fine - has nothing to do with cxf - but the streaming to the client per object / row is the problem. How would I do that? What would be my response object etc?
The client would preferably just use an InputStream or something to get the data, just like with an attachment. Thanx for the quick response. bimargulies wrote: > > Well, let's see.
