How to use the @RetryableTopic in Spring Integration

Question

I'm wondering how to use the spring-kafka annotation @RetryableTopic within an integration flow.

Is there any way to apply it onto a consumer introduced by Kafka.messageDrivenChannelAdapter() ?

Answer 1

You cannot, directly.

However, you can invoke a spring integration flow using a Messaging Gateway from a @KafkaListener (that is effectively what the message driven channel adapter does).
