Spring Batch - Skip Record On Process

Question

I wanted to skip some record on process.

what i have tried is, i have created custom exception and throw the exception when i want to skip the record and its calling

Answer 1

when we return null in the process() method, it will filter the record and increase the filter count.

@Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED)
    @Override
    public SomeObject process(SomeObject someObject) throws Exception {
        if (some condition) {
            return null;
        }   
}

If We want to skip the record , throw an exception. This will skip the record and increase processSkipCount as well.

@Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED)
    @Override
    public SomeObject process(SomeObject someObject) throws Exception {
        if (some condition) {
            throw new Exception("invalid record");
        }   
}

Add this Exception to context file as well.
