Rails - Aug 2007 - use continuation in rails

Hello
anyone with some experience to use continuation across different http
request?
I try to implement a web service method like below:

  def getallnotes(userid)
    $contHash = Hash.new unless $contHash
    $contHash[userid].call if $contHash[userid]
    curr_idx = 0
    while curr_idx < @notes.size
      callcc {|continuation|
        $contHash[userid] = continuation
        return @notes[curr_idx, 5]
      }
      curr_idx += 5
    end
    $contHash.delete(userid)
    nil
  end

The idea is that if the @notes is too big, return all the data once may
not be a good idea. So each time I just return 5 data. then use
continuation to store the context. Then if same user call this method
again, it will jump to the point of last execution to return the next 5
data.
But I got the error:
"continuation called across threads"

Is it possible to use continuation in rails that way?
