Big REST response

[gavelezalt]

Hello:

How can i manage big REST responses without memory exceptions?

My app needs to load a response of about 5 Mb and i don't know how to manage it with Spring Android.

Thank you!!!

I would ask the same thing and reading the forum i find your post!

In my old app I save the response to a FileOutputStream, then I created a custom Jackson Object mapper to get element by element, avoiding to map the received content to a list!

Now the doc says that you can define your own MessageConverter, so I think that is possible to create a Jackson converter with a custom object mapper. I think is also possible to stream the response to a file!

Let me know if you find a better solution!

Bye
