Streaming

[je...@philips.com]

Hi folks,

We're developping a webservices that sends back a particular object. We've 
implemented our own serializer & deserializer for that kind of object.
Our problem is that those kind of object, once serialized in xml, are huge 
(up to 10MB). As the SOAP envelope is entirely generated in memory before 
being sent to our client the amount of RAM used is far too heavy.
We would like the serializer to be able to send directly to the client the 
SOAP envelope while being generated instead of building it in memory. In 
short, we would like the serializer to stream the SOAP message. 
Despite the fact that it is not a good use of the SOAP, we really would 
like to experience that. And as far as we've been investigating the source 
code, the SOAP envelope are always generated in memory, whatever the 
serializer (StringWriter are used everywhere).
Does anyone have an idea of how to do that?

kind regards,
Jean Seurin
