Pre-processing

[springforever]

You can get the itemCount from the StepExecution (e.g. in a listener) after the step has completed. It will only be accurate if there are no skipped records on read with the current meta-data, but that might be what you want anyway (how many records were processed)?

Actually, i want to get the total number of records in the input file. Listener apporach would work, i think.

I have 4 records in the input file, with no skippable items. However, i get output of 5 on using "stepExecution.getItemCount()". Why is that?

Also, doc for getItemCount() is "Returns the current number of tasks for this execution". What do we mean by tasks here? Is it the total number of processed items or total number records going to the database?

The off-by-one item count in step execution should be fixed in trunk. Item count is the number of items processed - I've tidied up the StepExecution javadoc a bit.
