handling properties

[Lars Engel <en...@ivs.tu-berlin.de>]

Hi,

what is the easiest way to define some properties. I'd like to define 
them in a file or so and get them from within a class.


Best regards,

Lars.

Streaming a Part of Response Body with SAX

[Charles Roy <cr...@blueprint.org>]

Hi,

I am currently adding web service support to a Servlet based application 
to expose large amounts of data to be returned as XML. The application 
already returns this XML data from its web interface.

We would prefer to return the data in the body of the SOAP response as 
opposed to attachments. We need to stream it without any buffering 
because this is/will cause out of memory errors as other mails have 
mentioned.

The existing application currently streams its data with a chain of SAX 
based readers/parsers using the output stream of the Servlet's response. 
The output stream can be easily specified, but the input stream is 
essentially piped to the database and/or text index.

So, what I would like to do is use this streaming architecture to 
directly stream this data to the message body at the appropriate point 
without any intermediate buffering while building up the Axis response 
message or when Axis streams this particularly chunk of data.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
If necessary, locking the web service implementation into a HTTP/Servlet 
based architecture is appropriate.

I have tried using custom serialization classes and grabbing the output 
stream directly from the HttpServletResponse stored in the 
MessageContext but have not had any success.

Thanks a lot,
Charles
