I have this problem with Spring batch when I try read my csv files.
I have to read a CSV with a structure like this:
valueHeader;valueHeader;valueHeader;valueHeader;valueHeader;valueHeader
conventValue;conventValue;conventValue;conventValue;conventValue
conventValue;conventValue;conventValue;conventValue;conventValue
conventValue;conventValue;conventValue;conventValue;conventValue
valueFooter;valueFooter;valueFooter;valueFooter;valueFooter;valueFooter
I have a MultiResourceItemReader that delegate on a FlatFileItemReader of type String, to make easy map this lines to my Custom DTO in a Custom Item Processor that is executed after.
In my Tasklet, I have injected my MultiResourceItemReader bean like this:
@Autowired
private MultiResourceItemReader<String> resourceItemReader;
Then I call it like this (set the resources and context):
resourceItemReader.setStrict(Boolean.FALSE);
resourceItemReader.setResources(resources);
resourceItemReader.open(context.getStepContext().getStepExecution().getExecutionContext());
String currentContent = resourceItemReader.read();
while(currentContent != null) {
linesReaded.add(currentContent);
currentContent = resourceItemReader.read();
}
But I am getting a **NullPointerException** in the first Line and I don't know why:

I will attach my readerItems beans too:
@Bean
MultiResourceItemReader<String> resourceItemReader(FlatFileItemReader<String> flatFileItemReader){
MultiResourceItemReader<String> resourceItemReader = new MultiResourceItemReader<>();
resourceItemReader.setDelegate(flatFileItemReader);
resourceItemReader.setStrict(false);
return resourceItemReader;
}
@Bean
FlatFileItemReader<String> flatFileItemReader() {
FlatFileItemReader<String> reader = new FlatFileItemReader<String>();
reader.setStrict(false);
reader.setLineMapper(new DefaultLineMapper<String>() {
{
//Setea los valores en la clase indicada
setFieldSetMapper(new FieldSetMapper<String>() {
@Override
public String mapFieldSet(FieldSet fieldSet) throws BindException {
String[] values = fieldSet.getValues();
return String.join(";", values);
}
});
}
});
return reader;
}
You did not set a line tokenizer on your LineMapper
. Here is how to add one:
reader.setLineMapper(new DefaultLineMapper<String>() {
{
//Setea los valores en la clase indicada
setFieldSetMapper(new FieldSetMapper<String>() {
@Override
public String mapFieldSet(FieldSet fieldSet) throws BindException {
String[] values = fieldSet.getValues();
return String.join(";", values);
}
});
setLineTokenizer(new DelimitedLineTokenizer(";"));
}
});
I would recommend using the FlatFileItemReaderBuilder
which is more intuitive thanks to its fluent API. Here is an example:
@Bean
public FlatFileItemReader<Pojo> flatFileItemReader() {
return new FlatFileItemReaderBuilder<Pojo>()
.name("itemReader")
.resource(new FileSystemResource("/path/to/flat/file"))
.targetType(Pojo.class)
.delimited()
.delimiter(";")
.names("column1", "column2")
.build();
}
