Hi, If your managed bean (export) is using the Servlet Response, it seems to me difficult to make it work without sending the serialized object itself. Moreover, I agree, it's not clear at all.
I would recommend to change the export bean a bit and make it work with common Input/OutputStream. Then, the caller can strean the output from the export bean in the servlet response and does not need to send the response itself. Hope I got the question and it helps.
