completely disable "chunking" on server side

[Christopher Cheng <ch...@gmail.com>]

In the doc, I can see that client has the option to enable/disable chunking.
Is it possible to disable chunking completely on the server side?

1) Set the "Connection: Close" header on the response.   You should be able to 
fairly easily do that from a CXF interceptor,  but you may not WANT to as that 
would disable the keep-alives and may cause performance issues. 

2) Write a CXF interceptor that would replace the servlets OutputStream in the 
message with a buffer of some sort (ByteArrayOutputStream or our 
CachedOutputStream) at the beginning of the output chain and then at the end 
of the chain, use that to set the Content-Length header on the response and 
copy that data to the real output stream.
