Research direction

Start by comparing the FlatFileItemReaderBuilder entry point with FlatFileItemReader's default-name behavior, then locate the builder's existing tests. Verify the behavior when no name is supplied and add a regression test showing that the builder matches the plain reader; done means that usage no longer throws an exception.

Marten Deinum opened BATCH-2623 and commented

During conversion of a FlatFileItemReader to the usage of the FlatFileItemReaderBuilder I ran into the issue that I now suddenly must provide a name.

The FlatFileItemReader by default sets the name to the short classname and I would expect the builder to honor this, however instead the builder itself is throwing an exception. I would expect that I don't have the explicitly name the constructed reader just as with the plain configuration.
