DefaultErrorHandler is not configurable If @RetryableTopic used for retry and DLT handler

Spring boot version : 2.7.6Spring kafka version : 2.8.11

Issue:

I was trying to handle the deserialization issues in code. To handle such issues in code, I created my own class by extending

DefaultErrorHandler

and overriding the public void handleOtherException(Exception thrownException, Consumer<?, ?> consumer, MessageListenerContainer container, boolean batchListener) {} Sample code as below

public class CustomDefaultErrorHandler extends DefaultErrorHandler {    private static Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(CustomDefaultErrorHandler.class);    @Override    public void handleOtherException(Exception thrownException, Consumer<?, ?> consumer, MessageListenerContainer container, boolean batchListener) {        manageException(thrownException, consumer);    }    private void manageException(Exception ex, Consumer<?, ?> consumer) {        log.error("Error polling message: " + ex.getMessage());        if (ex instanceof RecordDeserializationException) {            RecordDeserializationException rde = (RecordDeserializationException) ex;            consumer.seek(rde.topicPartition(), rde.offset() + 1L);            consumer.commitSync();        } else {            log.error("Exception not handled");        }    }}

If I use the @RetryableTopic along with @KafkaListener

@RetryableTopic(listenerContainerFactory = "kafkaListenerContainerFactory", backoff = @Backoff(delay = 8000, multiplier = 2.0),        dltStrategy = DltStrategy.FAIL_ON_ERROR        , traversingCauses = "true", autoCreateTopics = "true", numPartitions = "3", replicationFactor = "3",        fixedDelayTopicStrategy = FixedDelayStrategy.MULTIPLE_TOPICS, include = {RetriableException.class, RecoverableDataAccessException.class,        SQLTransientException.class, CallNotPermittedException.class})@KafkaListener(topics = "${topic.name}", groupId = "order", containerFactory = "kafkaListenerContainerFactory", id = "OTR")public void consumeOTRMessages(ConsumerRecord<String, PayloadsVO> payload, @Header(KafkaHeaders.RECEIVED_TOPIC) String topicName) throws JsonProcessingException {    logger.info("Payload :{}", payload.value());    payloadsService.savePayload(payload.value(), pegasusTopicName);}

What I saw in debugging the code, @RetryableTopic has its own DefaultErrorHandler configurations in

ListenerContainerFactoryConfigurer

and it stops my custom handler and deserialization process wont stop on issue.

Can you please suggest any way since I wanted to use annotations for retry process in my code

I tried to configured my own implementation of

DefaultErrorHandler

by extending it and configured in

ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory
