How to break down a huge resultset from a store proc

Question

Hello All:
First of all, I posted this question on Spring forum: http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?115721-how-to-catch-SQL-exception-when-using-JDBCTemplate in hope to see if there is a Spring solution since my project is based on Spring framework.
I hope this is not a cross post, since I want to know how I can achive the same by using generic JDBC.
My issue is that I need to run a stored proc, with certain parameters in place the resultset is huge. I can't send this back directly to the client. With Spring APIs it seems solution is not simply, someone suggested Spring batch. That require a steep learning curve and might turn out to be a overkill. I am thinking maybe generic JDBC can help, and this is what I want to do
while(rs.next()){   //count 100 records and send to a queue } // a consume stay put to consume the records and discard resource to avoid OutOfMemory
Will the above design work? since I didn't use too many delicated JDBC in the past, you might be able to help me catch some pitfall there.
Thanks, John

thanks EJP. I figured out that I was barking at the wrong tree. I don't really need Rowset or the likes. I only need to wrap a bunch records each time, put it into a blocking queue so that the pace is well coordinated during the iteration. A consumer reads from the queue and shoot them to a message broker.
Nevertheless, its good to read some javax.sql stuff. Thanks.
