Spring bean initialization with autowired simpMessagingTemplate - spring

Question

I'm building a Spring MVC project which, at certain point should be able to read from a Kafka topic and send consumed data to some frontend. To achieve that, I'm using:
Spring KafkaTemplate, in order to consume messages from Kafka Server.
SimpMessagingTemplate, to send each consumed message to frontend, via Spring Websockets.
This is what I have:
KafkaConfig.java
#Configuration
#EnableKafka
public class KafkaConfig {
#Bean
KafkaListenerContainerFactory<ConcurrentMessageListenerContainer<String, String>>
kafkaListenerContainerFactory() {
ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory<String, String> factory =
new ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory<>();
factory.setConsumerFactory(consumerFactory());
factory.setConcurrency(3);
factory.getContainerProperties().setPollTimeout(3000);
return factory;
}
#Bean
public ConsumerFactory<String, String> consumerFactory() {
return new DefaultKafkaConsumerFactory<>(consumerConfigs());
}
#Bean
public Map<String, Object> consumerConfigs() {
Map<String, Object> props = new HashMap<>();
props.put("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092");
props.put("group.id", "metrics");
props.put("enable.auto.commit", "true");
props.put("auto.commit.interval.ms", "1000");
props.put("session.timeout.ms", "30000");
props.put("key.deserializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer");
props.put("value.deserializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer");
return props;
}
#Bean
public KafkaReceiver receiver() {
return new KafkaReceiver();
}
}
KafkaReceiver.java
public class KafkaReceiver {
#Autowired
private SimpMessagingTemplate simpMessagingTemplate;
#KafkaListener(topics = "metrics")
public void receive(ConsumerRecord<?, ?> record) {
MetricRecord m = new MetricRecord(new Long(record.offset()), record.key().toString(), record.value().toString());
this.simpMessagingTemplate.convertAndSend("/metrics/records", m.toString());
}
}
I also have WebSocketConfig in place. At this moment, it is:
#Configuration
#EnableWebSocketMessageBroker
public class WebSocketConfig extends AbstractWebSocketMessageBrokerConfigurer {
#Override
public void configureMessageBroker(MessageBrokerRegistry config) {
config.enableSimpleBroker("/metrics");
config.setApplicationDestinationPrefixes("/metricsApp");
}
#Override
public void registerStompEndpoints(StompEndpointRegistry registry) {
registry.addEndpoint("/kafka-metrics-websocket").withSockJS();
}
}
This is my dependency tree:

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

I think there is really more stack trace to determine the root of cause.
On the other hand you have mentioned Spring Websockets, but we really don't see any declaration for that. Something like #EnableWebSocketMessageBroker?
UPDATE
You have a mix of versions:
[INFO] +- org.springframework:spring-beans:jar:5.0.0.RELEASE:compile
[INFO] +- org.springframework:spring-websocket:jar:4.3.11.RELEASE:compile
[INFO] | \- org.springframework:spring-web:jar:4.3.11.RELEASE:compile
Consider to use everything from org.springframework in the version 5.0.
