Http response

[shankar vembu]

Hi,
I have a server side program where i generate an XML file. Its a time consuming process. So i need to output the XML as and when it is growing in size to the client. So, I created a thread and sending the XML as response which is varying. The XML is bound to the session. Now, my problem is, I have to overwrite the response everytime, but its getting appended to already existing response and so the browser gives an error saying that two xml elements should not be there. I hope i am clear here. What is the solution for this??

You are going to have to prevent the XML file from being modified while you are sending a response. If the process that modifies the XML can't be halted, then you will have to somehow grab a copy and send the copy.

Hi,
I am able to send the response but my problem is when i send it for a second time(I may have to send the response at equal intervals of a fixed time), it appends to the already existing response in the browser window and this gives an error because I am trying to append an xml to an xml .....as mentioned in my previous post.
