running Kafka on WSL and make producer on windows

I’m running Kafka on WSL. I’m trying to make simple producer like this (I’m using intellj)

import org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.KafkaProducer;
import org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.ProducerConfig;
import org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.ProducerRecord;
import org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer;

import java.util.Properties;

public class ProducerDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        String bootstrapServers = "127.0.0.1:9092";

        //create Producer properties
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.setProperty(ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG,bootstrapServers);
        properties.setProperty(ProducerConfig.KEY_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringSerializer.class.getName());
        properties.setProperty(ProducerConfig.VALUE_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG,StringSerializer.class.getName());

        //create the producer
        KafkaProducer<String,String> producer = new KafkaProducer<String, String>(properties);

        //create a producer record
        ProducerRecord<String,String> record =
                new ProducerRecord<String, String>("first_topic","hallo world");

        //send data
        producer.send(record);

        //flush + close
        producer.flush();
        producer.close();
    }

}

but there’s a problem, when I try to run the code it shows this error

Process finished with exit code -1

i even checked the port on my Windows

TCP    0.0.0.0:9092           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

my question is, is it impossible to make producer on windows and while running kafka on WSL ?

Answer

Your Kafka broker is using the local hostname (AD17-2.localdomain) in its advertised listener. When you client connects to it initially on 127.0.0.1:9092 the broker returns this address for it to connect to for producing messages. Your producer fails to resolve this address, and fails.

To fix it, in the broker’s server.properties set

advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://127.0.0.1:9092
listener.security.protocol.map=PLAINTEXT:PLAINTEXT
listeners=PLAINTEXT://0.0.0.0:9092
