How to send a message via Kafka.Producer from a java servlet to Kafka

问题

I want to get the data from a HTTP Post, so in servlet I am implementing doPost like following

package PostHandler;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import kafka.producer.ProducerConfig;
import kafka.javaapi.producer.ProducerData;

@WebServlet(description = "This is to handle the posted data on HTTP", urlPatterns = { "/ClsPostHandler" })
public class ClsPostHandler extends HttpServlet 
{
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException 
      {
            final kafka.javaapi.producer.Producer<Integer, String> producer;
            final Properties props = new Properties();
            props.put("serializer.class", "kafka.serializer.StringEncoder");
            props.put("zk.connect", "localhost:2181");
            producer = new kafka.javaapi.producer.Producer<Integer, String>(
                    new ProducerConfig(props));
            String messageStr = new String("Testing to publish on testing topic");
            producer.send(new ProducerData<Integer, String>("testing",
                    messageStr));
    }
}

Its throwing an runtime error as follows:

Jul 26, 2013 11:57:08 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke

You have to place kafka jar on your runtime classpath
