All Implemented Interfaces:

ResourceAwareItemReaderItemStream<T>, ItemReader<T>, ItemStream, ItemStreamReader<T>, InitializingBean

public class FlatFileItemReader<T>
extends AbstractItemCountingItemStreamItemReader<T>
implements ResourceAwareItemReaderItemStream<T>, InitializingBean

Restartable ItemReader that reads lines from input setResource(Resource). Line is defined by the setRecordSeparatorPolicy(RecordSeparatorPolicy) and mapped to item using setLineMapper(LineMapper). If an exception is thrown during line mapping it is rethrown as FlatFileParseException adding information about the problematic line and its line number.

Method Detail

setStrict

public void setStrict(boolean strict)

In strict mode the reader will throw an exception on AbstractItemCountingItemStreamItemReader.open(org.springframework.batch.item.ExecutionContext) if the input resource does not exist.

Parameters:

strict - true by default

setSkippedLinesCallback

public void setSkippedLinesCallback(LineCallbackHandler skippedLinesCallback)

Parameters:

skippedLinesCallback - will be called for each one of the initial skipped lines before any items are read.

setLinesToSkip

public void setLinesToSkip(int linesToSkip)

Public setter for the number of lines to skip at the start of a file. Can be used if the file contains a header without useful (column name) information, and without a comment delimiter at the beginning of the lines.

Parameters:

linesToSkip - the number of lines to skip

setLineMapper

public void setLineMapper(LineMapper<T> lineMapper)

Setter for line mapper. This property is required to be set.

Parameters:

lineMapper - maps line to item

setEncoding

public void setEncoding(String encoding)

Setter for the encoding for this input source. Default value is DEFAULT_CHARSET.

Parameters:

encoding - a properties object which possibly contains the encoding for this input file;

setBufferedReaderFactory

public void setBufferedReaderFactory(BufferedReaderFactory bufferedReaderFactory)

Factory for the BufferedReader that will be used to extract lines from the file. The default is fine for plain text files, but this is a useful strategy for binary files where the standard BufferedReaader from java.io is limiting.

Parameters:

bufferedReaderFactory - the bufferedReaderFactory to set

setComments

public void setComments(String[] comments)

Setter for comment prefixes. Can be used to ignore header lines as well by using e.g. the first couple of column names as a prefix.

Parameters:

comments - an array of comment line prefixes.

setResource

public void setResource(Resource resource)

Public setter for the input resource.

Specified by:

setResource in interface ResourceAwareItemReaderItemStream<T>

setRecordSeparatorPolicy

public void setRecordSeparatorPolicy(RecordSeparatorPolicy recordSeparatorPolicy)

Public setter for the recordSeparatorPolicy. Used to determine where the line endings are and do things like continue over a line ending if inside a quoted string.

Parameters:

recordSeparatorPolicy - the recordSeparatorPolicy to set

doRead

protected T doRead()
            throws Exception

Description copied from class: AbstractItemCountingItemStreamItemReader

Read next item from input.

Specified by:

doRead in class AbstractItemCountingItemStreamItemReader<T>

Returns:

string corresponding to logical record according to setRecordSeparatorPolicy(RecordSeparatorPolicy) (might span multiple lines in file).

Throws:

Exception

doClose

protected void doClose()
                throws Exception

Description copied from class: AbstractItemCountingItemStreamItemReader

Close the resources opened in AbstractItemCountingItemStreamItemReader.doOpen().

Specified by:

doClose in class AbstractItemCountingItemStreamItemReader<T>

Throws:

Exception

doOpen

protected void doOpen()
               throws Exception

Description copied from class: AbstractItemCountingItemStreamItemReader

Open resources necessary to start reading input.

Specified by:

doOpen in class AbstractItemCountingItemStreamItemReader<T>

Throws:

Exception

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()
                        throws Exception

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface InitializingBean

Throws:

Exception

jumpToItem

protected void jumpToItem(int itemIndex)
                   throws Exception

Description copied from class: AbstractItemCountingItemStreamItemReader

Move to the given item index. Subclasses should override this method if there is a more efficient way of moving to given index than re-reading the input using AbstractItemCountingItemStreamItemReader.doRead().

Overrides:

jumpToItem in class AbstractItemCountingItemStreamItemReader<T>

Throws:

Exception
