I have a Java web service that returns a large amount of data. Is there a standard way to stream a response rather than trying to return a huge chunk of data at once?

This problem is analogous to the older problem with bringing back large RSS feeds. You can do it by parameterizing the request:
http://host/myservice?start=0&count=100, or by including next/prev urls in the response itself.The latter approach has a lot of advantages. I’ll search for a link that describes it and post it here if I find one.
