I need to listen kafka topic in my flowable bpmn workflow and will do further process after receiving it. Could someone please guide me for this implementation. I am using micronaut framework.

Hey @harish,

Have you read the [Flowable Business Processing from Kafka Events](https://blog.flowable.org/2020/03/24/flowable-business-processing-from-kafka-events/) blog post?

It has an extensive explanation of how you can use Kafka with Flowable. Keep in mind that our integration with Kafka is based on spring-kafka, which means you would need that instead of micronaut.

Cheers,  
Filip

Yes @filiphr , I read that and same has been implemented in spring boot but the problem is I have to implement it with Micronaut.

You already saw my post in other post and configuration , it did not work. I think it is not possible with micronaut.

Thanks for reply.

Thanks,  
Harish

Hey @harish,

As I said earlier the Flowable Kafka integration is based on spring-kafka, which means that it needs to have that available. Perhaps you can achieve this with Micronaut as well. You need to make sure that the correct beans are available in your micronaut application.

Cheers,  
Filip

Thanks @filiphr , I’ll try to find the corrects beans and will post solution here if successful.
