How to skip lines with ItemReader in Spring-Batch?

Question

I have a custom item reader that transforms lines from a textfile to my entity:

public class EntityItemReader extends AbstractItemStreamItemReader

I do not think you can have your cake and eat it too in this case (and after reading all the comments). By best opinion would (as suggested) to throw a custom Exception and skip 'on it'. You can maybe optimize your entity creation or processes elsewhere so you don't loose so much performance. Good luck.
