Q. Spring Batch provides a convenience class, CompositeItemProcessor, which forwards the output of the filter to the input of the successive filter.

View solution

Q. If the preceding job was run on a batch with a 100 rows, each item was read and passed through the processor, and it found 10 items invalid (it returned null 10 times), the value for the filter_count column would be:-
