Disable kafka producer from properties configuration

Question

How can a producer set up from a Kafka factory be disabled?

I started from this example from https://docs.spring.io/spring-kafka/reference/html/

I expected that adding a property like

props.put("autoStartup", "false");

would disable the message sending, but it does not seem to work. Running the application still sends messages.

Answer 1

There's no producer property like autoStartup, so it doesn't mean disable the message sending. For the producer configuration, you could see here.

In Spring Kafka, autoStartup is used for Listener Container.

You could set this property by: In @KafkaListener

@KafkaListener(id = "myContainer", topics = "myTopic", autoStartup = "false")

Or

**ListenerContainerFactory.setAutoStartup(Boolean autoStartup)
