The RetryTemplate cannot be configured in ItemOrientedTasklet: cannot set a backoffPolicy or interceptors, as it is private without getter/setter.

The easiest way is to simply provide a getter for RetryTemplate, so that we can configure it the following way:

<bean id="tasklet" class="ItemOrientedTasklet">
  <property name="retryTemplate.backOffPolicy" ref="..." />
  <property name="retryTemplate.interceptor" ref="..." />
</bean>

The more extensible approach would be to provide a setter too, in case we want to replace the retry template too, with the default being a simple RetryTemplate. Further, the instance type should be RetryOperations instead of RetryTemplate.
