you saving whole data in kind of collection , serializing text file. - have noticed - might work small amounts of data application on knees when amount of data large. in case not way of doing because never how data query return.

you should stream results of query output, i.e. write each query result write aftre fetching it, no need temporarly saving it. might use implementation of outputstream. if sending file servlet might want write directly outputstream of servlet after setting right content type.
