Out of memory error with XML and Java ResultSet

["Brown, Jason B." <Jason.B.Brown@ibx.com>]

Greetings.

I am new to this mailing list.  I was wondering if someone could help me
with a small problem I am having trying to create an XML buffer using
data from a Java ResultSet.  The ResultSet object contains approximately
300,000 rows, which I want to place in a XML buffer.  I managed to
develop an XML implementation that uses JAXP 1.1.  The logic for the
processing is this: I execute the SQL query, obtain the ResultSet, loop
through the result set and as each row in the result set is encountered,
I use getLong methods, etc to get the data and write it to a
StreamResult object.

Here is a code snippet:
			rsMetaData = rs.getMetaData();

			// Provide the System.out object as the output
stream for now
			xmlWrtr = new CisXmlWriterSAX(new
StreamResult(xmlData), 
							((String)
CUtil.getEnv("AdhocDataDtd")));

			numOfColumns = rsMetaData.getColumnCount();

			//
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

			// Start XML document
			xmlWrtr.startXMLDocument();

			// Set root element
			xmlWrtr.addXMLElement("AdhocClaims");

			System.out.println("<<>> Building XML file...");

			while (rs.next()) {
				// Calculate number of rows in result
set
				numOfRows++;
				
				CDebug.print("" + numOfRows);

				// Create the Row parent element (child
element to AdhocClaims element)
				xmlWrtr.addXMLElement("Row");

				for (int colIndex = 1; colIndex <=
numOfColumns; colIndex++) {

				.....
					tempStr =
crossRef.getReadableName(rsMetaData.getColumnName(colIndex));

					// Create the attributes for the
element
					xmlWrtr.addElementAttr("name",
"CDATA", tempStr);

					// Add Column element
					xmlWrtr.addXMLElement("Column");

					// Add the Value element and a
value for the Value element
					xmlWrtr.addElementValue(null,
"");

					// End Column element
					xmlWrtr.endXMLElement("Column");
				}
				.....
			}

			xmlWrtr.endXMLElement("AdhocClaims");
			
			// This is done when finished with adding all
elements within root element
			xmlWrtr.endXMLDocument();
			......

xmlWrtr is a class that contains the following objects:
	private SAXTransformerFactory transFact = null;

	/**
	* Contains where the resulting XML will be placed/contained
	*/
	private StreamResult resultStream = null;
	
	private TransformerHandler handler = null;

	private Transformer serializer = null;

	private AttributesImpl attr = null;

My main goal with this posting is to obtain a memory-friendly solution
for taking information from a Java ResultSet and placing it in a XML
buffer.

Thanks.
