org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextException: Failed to start bean 'org.springframework.kafka.config.internalKafkaListenerEndpointRegistry

Question

I am developing Spring Boot + Apache Kafka + Apache Zookeeper example. I've installed/setup Apache Zookeeper and Apache Kafka on my local Windows machine. I've taken a reference from link: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/spring_boot/spring_boot_apache_kafka.htm and executed code as is:

Setup: https://medium.com/@shaaslam/installing-apache-kafka-on-windows-495f6f2fd3c8

Error:

    public void listen(String message) {
        System.out.println("Received Messasge in group - group-id: " + message);
    }
}

What can I try next to resolve this?

Answer 1

After spending many hours I found that I should be using below in KafkaConsumerConfig too.

With the below changes code works fine.

props.put(ConsumerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, "localhost:9092");

Answer 2

The issue may caused due to mismatch of Spring boot version and Kafka version. I was able to resolve with the following matrix.

Spring boot version :

    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.4.RELEASE</version>
        <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
    </parent>

Kafka version maven dependency from Spring boot version

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.kafka</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-kafka</artifactId>
    </dependency> 

Kafka version : kafka_2.12-2.2.0
Zookeeper version : apache-zookeeper-3.5.5

Application.yml file details as below :

server:
  port: 9000
spring:
  kafka:
    consumer:
      bootstrap-servers:
      - localhost:9092
      group-id: group_id
      auto-offset-reset: earliest
      key-deserializer: org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer
      value-deserializer: org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer
    producer:
      bootstrap-servers:
      - localhost:9092
      key-deserializer: org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer
      value-deserializer: org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer

@Kamesh- Does this solution works for you ? Can you share your output ? – Lumenhour

I have written kafkalistener and the topic name that was passed is null or empty after giving a topic name it started
