CommonErrorHandler not present in kafka spring? - spring

Question

I have created a simple kafka consumer as
#EnableKafka
#Configuration
public class KafkaConsumerConfig {
#Bean
public ConsumerFactory<String, String> consumerFactory() {
Map<String, Object> props = new HashMap<>();
props.put(ConsumerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, "127.0.0.1:9092");
props.put(ConsumerConfig.GROUP_ID_CONFIG, "group_id");
props.put(ConsumerConfig.KEY_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG,StringDeserializer.class);
props.put(ConsumerConfig.VALUE_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG,StringDeserializer.class);
return new DefaultKafkaConsumerFactory<>(props);
}
#Bean
public ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory<String, String>
kafkaListenerContainerFactory() {
ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory<String, String> factory =
new ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory<>();
factory.setConsumerFactory(consumerFactory());
return factory;
}
}
This is kafka consumer
#Component
public class KafkaConsumer {
#KafkaListener(topics = "NewTopic", groupId = "group_id")
public void consume(String message) {
System.out.println("message = " + message);
}
}
When I run the application get the following error
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.kafka.KafkaAnnotationDrivenConfiguration': Unexpected exception during bean creation; nested exception is java.lang.TypeNotPresentException: Type org.springframework.kafka.listener.CommonErrorHandler not present

This is the problem of versions compatibility.
Please, consider to not override spring-kafka version, but rely on what Spring Boot provides for us.
The CommonErrorHandler has been introduced since Spring for Apache Kafka 2.8. According your 5.3.21 version for Spring Framework in logs, it looks like you use Spring Boot 2.6.x or even 2.7.x. But at the same time you use an old Spring for Apache Kafka version and really with an explicit version.
