title: Spring batch jsr 352 skip-limit how to get unlimited default or set unlimited
body: <p>I am trying to figure out how to set an unlimited value for skip-limit with out just randomly defining a very large integer value.</p>
  
  <p>The jsr 352 specifically states "The default is no limit." but I have not figure out how to get a default when actually defining a skippable exception.</p>
  
  <p>I tried 0 and -1 but both fail the positive number validation that spring batch does on the step when creating the job.  If the skip-limit attribute is not added when you have skippable exception defined it generates an error and does not start the job.</p>
  
  <p>Am i misinterpreting what the specification is saying or is spring batch not implementing the jsr correctly in this instance.  It definitely appears on the surface that skip-limit should have some means of defaulting to an unlimited value.  </p>
