如何在 spring 启动应用程序中使用 spring 事务配置 kafka 事务管理器

Question

I am using Kafka in the spring boot application. I want to perform operations in one transaction like given below.

listen(){
 produce()
 saveInDb()
} 

and

operation(){
 saveInDB()
 produce()
}

I have enabled Kafka transactions using the below configurations

spring:
  kafka:
    bootstrap-servers: localhost:19092,localhost:29092,localhost:39092
    producer:
      transaction-id-prefix: tx-
    consumer:
      enable-auto-commit: false
      isolation-level: read_committed

and using this configuration

    @Bean
    public ProducerFactory<String, Object> producerFactory() {
        Map<String, Object> props = new HashMap<>();
        props.put(ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, bootstrapServers);
        props.put(ProducerConfig.KEY_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringSerializer.class);
        props.put(ProducerConfig.VALUE_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, JsonSerializer.class);
        DefaultKafkaProducerFactory<String, Object> factory = new DefaultKafkaProducerFactory<>(props);
        factory.setTransactionIdPrefix("tx-");
        return factory;
    }

    @Bean
    public KafkaTransactionManager kafkaTransactionManager() {
        KafkaTransactionManager manager = new KafkaTransactionManager(producerFactory());
        return manager;
    }
    @Bean
    public KafkaTemplate<String, Object> kafkaTemplate() {
        return new KafkaTemplate<>(producerFactory());
    }

But I am getting an error when tried with spring @Transactional annotation

@Transactional
operation(){
 saveInDB()
 produce()
} 

No bean named 'transactionManager' available: No matching TransactionManager bean found for qualifier 'transactionManager' - neither qualifier match nor bean name match!

I followed the spring docs here https://docs.spring.io/spring-kafka/reference/html/#using-kafkatransactionmanager

What am I missing in the configuration?

Answer 1

I was missing defining transactionManager bean in configuration. Spring was not able to find it because KafkaTransactionManager extends AbstractPlatformTransactionManager and JpaTransactionManager also extends the same class.

Defining this bean as the primary bean fixed the issue.

    @Bean
    @Primary
    public JpaTransactionManager transactionManager(EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory) {
        return new JpaTransactionManager(entityManagerFactory);
    }

Kafka transactions get chained with it and KafkaTemplate will synchronize a transaction with transaction manager.
