[FIXED] @RetryableTopic without @KafkaListener

Issue

I would like to use the functionalities offered by the @RetryableTopic annotation but I do not have any @KafkaListener annotation.

I use the method createContainer(final String... topics) from ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory<String, Serializable> and setup a listener using setupMessageListener from the obtained container.

Do you know if it is possible to use the RetryableTopic in case of dynamic container creation ?

Solution

The feature doesn't currently support creating retryable topics outside of the @KafkaListener scope.

Feel free to raise a feature request in the project's GitHub so this can be kept in mind for Spring Kafka's next major version due later this year.

Thanks
