XSU: Reading each record at a time

Question

I am using XSU12 to retrieve database contents in XML format. I am passing the Connection and ResultSet objects to create OracleXMLQuery object. I want to read each record at a time and so setting the maxRows to 1 and then getting the xmlstring.
code looks like...
qry =new OracleXMLQuery(connection,resultset);
qry.setMaxRows(1);
xmlString = qry.getXMLString();
I keep this in a loop and read each record at a time. The problem is whenever getXMLString() method is called, the application is hitting the database, which will be a performance issue.
Is there any way to read contents of a table at once and then loop each record at a time without hitting the DB everytime?

public static char readChar() {
int ch;
char r = '\0';
boolean done = false;
while (!done) {
try {
ch = System.in.read();
r = (char) ch;
if (r == '\r') {
System.out.println("Not a character. Please try again!");
System.in.skip(1);
done = false;
} else {
System.in.skip(2);
done = true;
} catch (java.io.IOException e) {
done = true;
return r;
Try this as an method and then use it..
This code will read will be in response untill you hit the return key but will take only the first character....
