KafkaException: class is not an instance of org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Deserializer

I want to implement Kafka producer which sends and receives Java Serialized Objects. I tried this:

Producer:

@Configuration
public class KafkaProducerConfig {

@Value(value = "${kafka.bootstrapAddress}")
private String bootstrapAddress;

@Bean
public ProducerFactory<String, SaleRequestFactory> saleRequestFactoryProducerFactory() {
    Map<String, Object> configProps = new HashMap<>();
    configProps.put(ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, bootstrapAddress);
    configProps.put(ProducerConfig.KEY_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, SaleRequestFactory.class);
    configProps.put(ProducerConfig.VALUE_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, SaleRequestFactory.class);
    return new DefaultKafkaProducerFactory<>(configProps);
}

@Bean
public ProducerFactory<String, String> producerFactory() {
    Map<String, Object> configProps = new HashMap<>();
    configProps.put(ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, bootstrapAddress);
    /*
        Serialization configuration
     */
    return new DefaultKafkaProducerFactory<>(configProps);
}


@Bean
public KafkaTemplate<String, SaleRequestFactory> saleRequestFactoryKafkaTemplate() {
    return new KafkaTemplate<>(saleRequestFactoryProducerFactory());
}

@Bean
public KafkaTemplate<String, String> kafkaTemplate() {
    return new KafkaTemplate<>(producerFactory());
}

}

Send object:

@Autowired
private KafkaTemplate<String, SaleRequestFactory> saleRequestFactoryKafkaTemplate;

private static String topic = "tp-sale";

private void perform(){

    SaleRequestFactory obj = new SaleRequestFactory();
    obj.setId(100);

    ListenableFuture<SendResult<String, SaleRequestFactory>> send = saleRequestFactoryKafkaTemplate.send(topic, obj);
}

Consumer:

@EnableKafka
@Configuration
public class KafkaConsumerConfig {

    @Value(value = "${kafka.bootstrapAddress}")
    private String bootstrapAddress;

    private String groupId = "test";

    @Bean
    public ConsumerFactory<String, SaleResponseFactory> consumerFactory() {
        Map<String, Object> props = new HashMap<>();
        props.put(ConsumerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, bootstrapAddress);
        props.put(ConsumerConfig.GROUP_ID_CONFIG, groupId);
        props.put(ConsumerConfig.KEY_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringDeserializer.class);
        props.put(ConsumerConfig.VALUE_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, SaleResponseFactory.class);
        return new DefaultKafkaConsumerFactory<>(props);
    }

    @Bean
    public ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory<String, SaleResponseFactory> kafkaListenerContainerFactory() {
        ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory<String, SaleResponseFactory> factory =
                new ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory<>();
        factory.setConsumerFactory(consumerFactory());
        return factory;
    }
}

// Receive Object

    @KafkaListener(topics = "tp-sale")
public SaleResponseFactory transactionElavonAuthorizeProcess(@Payload SaleRequestFactory tf, @Headers MessageHeaders headers) throws Exception {

    System.out.println(tf.getId());

    SaleResponseFactory resObj = new SaleResponseFactory();
    resObj.setUnique_id("123123");

    return resObj;
}

When I deploy the Producer I get error during deployment:

Caused by: org.apache.kafka.common.KafkaException: class org.engine.plugin.transactions.factory.SaleResponseFactory is not an instance of org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Deserializer

Custom object

import org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serializer;

@Builder(toBuilder = true)
public class SaleRequestFactory implements Serializable, Serializer {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1744050117179344127L;
    
    private int id;

    @Override
    public byte[] serialize(String s, Object o) {
        return new byte[0];
    }
}

import org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Deserializer; @Getter @Setter @NoArgsConstructor @AllArgsConstructor @Builder(toBuilder = true) public class SaleResponseFactory implements Serializable, Deserializer { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1744050117179344127L; private String unique_id; @Override public Object deserialize(String s, byte[] bytes) { return null; } }

Do you know how I can fix this issue?

Do you know how I can fix this issue?

EDIT: I managed to implement these improvements:

Producer:

@Configuration
public class KafkaProducerConfig {

@Value(value = "${kafka.bootstrapAddress}")
private String bootstrapAddress;

@Bean
public ProducerFactory<String, SaleRequestFactory> saleRequestFactoryProducerFactory() {
    Map<String, Object> configProps = new HashMap<>();
    configProps.put(ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, bootstrapAddress);
    configProps.put(ProducerConfig.KEY_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringSerializer.class);
    configProps.put(ProducerConfig.VALUE_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, SaleRequestFactorySerializer.class);
    return new DefaultKafkaProducerFactory<>(configProps);
}

@Bean
public ProducerFactory<String, String> producerFactory() {
    Map<String, Object> configProps = new HashMap<>();
    configProps.put(ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, bootstrapAddress);
    return new DefaultKafkaProducerFactory<>(configProps);
}


@Bean
public KafkaTemplate<String, SaleRequestFactory> saleRequestFactoryKafkaTemplate() {
    return new KafkaTemplate<>(saleRequestFactoryProducerFactory());
}

@Bean
public KafkaTemplate<String, String> kafkaTemplate() {
    return new KafkaTemplate<>(producerFactory());
}

}

Send object:

@Autowired
private KafkaTemplate<String, SaleRequestFactory> saleRequestFactoryKafkaTemplate;

private static String topic = "tp-sale";

private void perform(){

    SaleRequestFactory obj = new SaleRequestFactory();
    obj.setId(100);

    ListenableFuture<SendResult<String, SaleRequestFactory>> send = saleRequestFactoryKafkaTemplate.send(topic, obj);
}

Consumer:

@EnableKafka
@Configuration
public class KafkaConsumerConfig {

    @Value(value = "${kafka.bootstrapAddress}")
    private String bootstrapAddress;

    private String groupId = "test";

    @Bean
    public ConsumerFactory<String, SaleResponseFactory> consumerFactory() {
        Map<String, Object> props = new HashMap<>();
        props.put(ConsumerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, bootstrapAddress);
        props.put(ConsumerConfig.GROUP_ID_CONFIG, groupId);
        props.put(ConsumerConfig.KEY_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringDeserializer.class);
        props.put(ConsumerConfig.VALUE_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, SaleResponseFactoryDeserializer.class);
        return new DefaultKafkaConsumerFactory<>(props);
    }

    @Bean
    public ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory<String, SaleResponseFactory> kafkaListenerContainerFactory() {
        ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory<String, SaleResponseFactory> factory =
                new ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory<>();
        factory.setConsumerFactory(consumerFactory());
        return factory;
    }
}

Receive Object

    @KafkaListener(topics = "tp-sale")
public SaleResponseFactory transactionElavonAuthorizeProcess(@Payload SaleRequestFactory tf, @Headers MessageHeaders headers) throws Exception {

    System.out.println(tf.getId());

    SaleResponseFactory resObj = new SaleResponseFactory();
    resObj.setUnique_id("123123");

    return resObj;
}

            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return saleResponseFactory;
    }
}

When I send some message I get error:

Do you know how I can solve this issue?

Does this anser your question?stackoverflow.com/questions/16688655/… – YourHelper
You should separate your objects being serialized from the actual serializer classes, and they don't need to be called "factories" – OneCricketeer
Can you show me code example, please? – Peter Penzov
You already have it, but fix the naming SaleRequestSerializer implements org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serializer... My point is that your ProducerFactory, for example shouldn't be "sending" your serializer, so have a separate class ProducerFactory<String, SaleRequestFactory> – OneCricketeer

You are using different type to cast the object than what it was serialize with. Not sure why you need to do that. You can update your deserialize to something like below.

public class SaleRequestFactoryDeserializer implements Serializable, Deserializer<SaleRequestFactory> {

     @Override
     public SaleRequestFactory deserialize(String topic, byte[] data) {
      ...
        saleRequestFactory = (SaleRequestFactory) in.readObject();

    }
}

java.lang.ClassCastException: null

This also means your serialization didn't work as expected. Make sure you have valid payload before you try to cast.

KEY_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG is a class which deserializes the network value into proper Java classes. The class you provided doesn't do that.

In most cases, StringDeserializer is used. Specify a proper deserializer to the factory properties.
