I am facing a problem to read multi-line log message as a single message in our spring batch application configured with spring integration, this application has to read multiline log message (example exception stack trace) as a single message, later it has to process and classify the message for further indexing. Each line is identified by its timestamp (pattern mentioned above i.e. DATE_PATTERN) and it may continue mutltiple lines, I am trying to continue reading a message until I see another timestamp by overriding isEndOfRecord method from SimpleRecordSeparatorPolicy when second line reaches in preProcess method I am returning true for isEndOfRecord but this is not working as expected, could any one help me to read the mentioned log file by identifying the timestamp pattern?
I am using org.springframework.batch.item.file.FlatFileItemReader, and org.springframework.batch.item.file.mapping.PassThroughLineMapper as mapper.
