Well I'm going to chalk my lack of feedback as a question that is hard to understand from my explanation,or I'm asking the wrong question. But I still believe I cannot be the only one hitting this problem. Simply put I cannot find away to view/handle the progress of a file transferred from a web service to the stand alone client, if that web service call returns a DataHandler. Now in this thread ...

others have shown how monitor an upload to the server from the client side. I am after the opposite, ability to monitor the progress of file downloading from the server(GF v2.1) to the client.
Now, is it possible that there isn't a direct way of doing this? Surely Im not the only one to run into this type of situation. Is there a better way of moving a file from glassfish server, with ssl, to a user allowing the client app to monitor the progress?
