我使用kafkatemplatebean创建了sender类，通过senderconfiguration类中的一些配置将有效负载发送到topic。
发件人类

@Component
public class Sender {
    private static final Logger LOGGER = (Logger)  LoggerFactory.getLogger(Sender.class);

    @Autowired
    private KafkaTemplate<String, String>   kafkaTemplate;

    public void send(String topic, String payload) {
        LOGGER.info("sending payload='{}' to topic='{}'", payload, topic);

        kafkaTemplate.send(topic, "1", payload);
    }
}

，发件人配置类

@Configuration
public class SenderConfig {

    @Value("${kafka.bootstrap-servers}")
    private String bootstrapServers;

    @Bean
    public Map<String, Object> producerConfigs() {
        Map<String, Object> props = new HashMap<>();
        // list of host:port pairs used for establishing the initial connections to the Kakfa cluster
        props.put(ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, bootstrapServers);
        props.put(ProducerConfig.KEY_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringSerializer.class);
        props.put(ProducerConfig.VALUE_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringSerializer.class);

        return props;
    }

    @Bean
    public ProducerFactory<String, String> producerFactory() {
        return new DefaultKafkaProducerFactory<>(producerConfigs());
    }

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

    @Bean
    public Sender sender() {
        return new Sender();
    }
}

问题在于发送而不是生产
下面是application.yml文件属性

kafka:
   bootstrap-servers: localhost:9092
topic:
   helloworld: helloworld.t

简单的控制器包含

@RestController
public class Controller {
    protected final static String HELLOWORLD_TOPIC = "helloworld.t";

    @Autowired
    private Sender sender;

    @RequestMapping("/send")
    public String SendMessage() {

        sender.send(HELLOWORLD_TOPIC, "message");

        return "success";
    }
}

例外是
