Streaming Large Files: OutOfMemory Exception

[fischman_98]

To All:

So from all the other posts it appears that this is a problem with no true resolution.  

From what I can gather, JSF buffers all output into memory so the output can be further processed by filters. So, downloading a large file results to an OutOfMemory Exception.

The Servlet is an easy work-around, but this should work in JSF.  Should this be posted to the JIRA?

Also, has there been any development progress on this besides servlets.

Thanks.
