DelimitedLineTokenizer tab character

Question

How can I fix this problem:

<bean id=" productLineTokenizer" class="org.springframework.batch.item.file.transform.DelimitedLineTokenizer">
        <property name="delimiter" value="\t"/>

Caused by:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 
String [\t] with length 2 cannot be converted to char type

Answer 1

You need to use a constant

<property name="delimiter">
    <util:constant static-field="org.springframework.batch.item.file.transform.DelimitedLineTokenizer.DELIMITER_TAB"/>
</property>
