In researching how to Stream out large amounts of data, such as a big result set from a Search Result, I've noticed that it's something that's actually encouraged, which I hadn't thought of before as I always thought it was weird to see a page load a little bit at a time.
My question is whether it's common practice to do this. I currently store all of my results in memory, then put it in the Data Model of my TemplateRepresentation instance, which takes time, and probably given a big enough amount of users at once, may cause some big delays. I also iterate over the Result Set before returning it to the user. My other question is, in my case, would one stream out each result as it arrives from the back end? I have FreeMarker templates that iterate over these Results, so streaming out each one would require some kind of interruption of that page loading, or to load the page and do some value replacement, which I'm doing now as part of a prototyping experiment. Are there suggestions for good streaming of large Result Sets or am I looking to the wrong place? I'm using Restlet 2.0M7. Thanks! Dustin -- Dustin N.
