When I download the file in a browser, the XML content is incomplete and so the browser just complains of receiving a malformed XML document. This is the same for several browsers.
The Servlet is sending the document to the client via Rome java rss library. Rome polls the XML feed from the source and then serves the XML document via the HttpServletResponse.getWriter() method and SyndFeedOutput, a Rome class that is used to write the XML document to the PrintWriter. I've made sure the flush method is called. I've also tried, from within the Servlet, reading the XML document from its source and then sending the XML document in the response line by line (in effect just using a StringBuffer to store the XML document, and then splitting the StringBuffer into lines, and sending these using the response.getWriter().println() method) to make sure that the XML document is actually being sent to the PrintWriter, which it is. So something occurring after the PrintWriter.println() method is called is stopping the entire data from making it to the client. Hence my thinking that it's the Tomcat server not liking the amount of data being sent in the response??

That's not really very large and certainly not large enough for the size to be an interesting factor. What happens if you download the file in a browser? How is the Servlet sending it, by a forward to the real location or by generating it dynamically and sending the bytes? p > -----Original Message----- > From: Pid [mailto:p...@pidster.com] > Sent: 31 March 2010 13:20 > To: users@tomcat.apache.org > Subject: Re: Tomcat not serving large content? > > On 31/03/2010 10:51, John Dunne wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I'm using tomcat 5.5.28 to serve an XML document (an RSS feed actually) > via >> a servlet.
