To create a REST endpoint for pushing messages to a Kafka topic, you can use Spring Boot along with Spring Kafka. Here's how you can set it up:
-
Setup Spring Boot Project:
- Include necessary dependencies for Spring Boot and Spring Kafka.
-
Create Kafka Producer Configuration:
- Configure the Kafka producer settings.
-
Create a REST Controller:
- Define endpoints to accept requests and push messages to Kafka.
-
Run the Application:
- Verify the endpoint works by sending HTTP requests.
Add the following dependencies to your pom.xml:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.kafka</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-kafka</artifactId>
</dependency>
</dependencies>Create a configuration class for Kafka producer settings:
// Path: src/main/java/com/example/kafkaproducer/config/KafkaProducerConfig.java
package com.example.kafkaproducer.config;
import org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.ProducerConfig;
import org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.kafka.core.DefaultKafkaProducerFactory;
import org.springframework.kafka.core.KafkaTemplate;
import org.springframework.kafka.core.ProducerFactory;
import org.springframework.kafka.support.serializer.ErrorHandlingDeserializer;
import org.springframework.kafka.support.serializer.JsonSerializer;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
@Configuration
public class KafkaProducerConfig {
@Bean
public ProducerFactory<String, String> producerFactory() {
Map<String, Object> configProps = new HashMap<>();
configProps.put(ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, "localhost:9092");
configProps.put(ProducerConfig.KEY_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringSerializer.class);
configProps.put(ProducerConfig.VALUE_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringSerializer.class);
return new DefaultKafkaProducerFactory<>(configProps);
}
@Bean
public KafkaTemplate<String, String> kafkaTemplate() {
return new KafkaTemplate<>(producerFactory());
}
}Create a REST controller to handle incoming requests and push messages to Kafka:
// Path: src/main/java/com/example/kafkaproducer/controller/FinancialDataController.java
package com.example.kafkaproducer.controller;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.kafka.core.KafkaTemplate;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
@RestController
public class FinancialDataController {
private final KafkaTemplate<String, String> kafkaTemplate;
private static final String TOPIC = "financial_data";
@Autowired
public FinancialDataController(KafkaTemplate<String, String> kafkaTemplate) {
this.kafkaTemplate = kafkaTemplate;
}
@PostMapping("/publish")
public String publishMessage(@RequestParam("key") String key, @RequestBody String message) {
kafkaTemplate.send(TOPIC, key, message);
return "Message published successfully";
}
}Set up the main Spring Boot application class:
// Path: src/main/java/com/example/kafkaproducer/KafkaProducerApplication.java
package com.example.kafkaproducer;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class KafkaProducerApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(KafkaProducerApplication.class, args);
}
}Configure the Kafka broker in src/main/resources/application.properties:
spring.kafka.bootstrap-servers=localhost:9092- Start Kafka Broker: Make sure your Kafka broker is running on
localhost:9092. - Run the Spring Boot Application: Use your IDE or
mvn spring-boot:run.
Use a tool like curl or Postman to test the endpoint:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"price": "400", "quantity": "1500"}' "http://localhost:8080/publish?key=corn"This should publish a message with the key "corn" to the Kafka topic "financial_data".
a. Verify the messages in Kafka topic using Kafka consumer or CLI tools.
b. Add input validation and error handling for the REST endpoint.
