Why would stream-for-each be useless? Isn't it better than a list since you need not have the complete list in memory, but garbage collection can collect the beginning of the list if so needed? I thought I could use stream to go through entries in a database. I do not want to have a list of all database contents in memory to use for-each. -- Marko Kohtala - Marko.Kohtala@ntc.nokia.com, Marko.Kohtala@hut.fi
