Hi Tore,
I finally got around to looking at your code in the jira
attachments. It looks like it will need a little bit of updating to get
it 3.0 ready, but at the end of the day it still pulls the whole thing
into memory at some point. I might ping you over the next week, if you
don't mind, about this as I quickly (i.e. panic-mode) try to cobble
something together. I'm just learning cayenne so a lot of the internals
are still not very clear to me.
Thanks.
-Mike

Re: Blobs in the DataContext
Hello.
I tried to implement support for streaming blobs back in 2006. Sorry, but
it never got completed. I still think it is a nice feature. If you want to
work on this issue, you might want to take a look at
streaming_blob_try2.zip from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-316
Regards,
- Tore.
