How to provide streaming in J2EE web application?

Hi Friends,

I want to build web application which will provide streaming of data.

This data may be in raw data, binary, files, audio, video etc. As we are using HTTP protocol for web application, then how to do streaming between server and client using HTTP protocol i.e in request response manner.

If we want to send response of ~1 GB to client using servlet, then it's good idea that we should use data streaming concept. For data streaming if we use request/response architecture then servlet should send ~1 GB data in one go. Is it possible? And if we use data streaming tech. Is it our responsibility to do framing, maintaining data sequence, encoding/decoding, merge data and then store on client side?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
