[Spring WebMVC/Hessian] Transfer Files Upload/Download

hi there,

i have a pojo which is exported as a service by spring's dispatcher servlet. my protocol is hessian.

now, on the client side, i can call the service's methods like String getString() . so far so good. my problem is, that i want to up/download binary files too and not encapsulate them into objects.

is there any possibility to do that, streams perhaps? but to use streams i have to get the connection haven't i? how would you create such a up/download service in this context?

thanks a lot, chris
