UPDATED: Type resolution with deep generic hierarchies still fail in 2025.1.1 (regression from issue #1312)

Description

This is a follow-up to issue #1312 ("Type resolution with deep generic hierarchies is incorrect"). After upgrading Spring Cloud BOM from 2025.0.0 to 2025.1.1 and Spring Boot to 4.0.3, type resolution issues persist in batch mode consumption.

The demo repository (ferblaca/demoStreamGenerics/tree/upgrade_to_2025_0_0) was re-tested to confirm the behavior.

Current Behavior

Single Mode - All Consumers Work ✅

• productConsumer (GenericConsumer<ProductCompleteDTO>)
• productConsumer2 (Consumer<ProductCompleteDTO>)
• productMessageConsumer (GenericMessageConsumer<ProductCompleteDTO>)
• productMessageConsumer2 (Consumer<Message<ProductCompleteDTO>>)

Batch Mode - Partial Failure ⚠️

• productBatchListConsumer (GenericBatchListConsumer<ProductCompleteDTO>): ❌ Fails — payload arrives as byte[........]
• productBatchListConsumer2 (Consumer<List<ProductCompleteDTO>>): ✅ Works
• productBatchListMessageConsumer (GenericBatchMessageListConsumer<ProductCompleteDTO>): ✅ Works
• productBatchListMessageConsumer2 (Consumer<Message<List<ProductCompleteDTO>>>): ✅ Works

Root Cause

Only the productBatchListConsumer bean with the following signature fails to deserialize correctly:

@Bean
public GenericBatchListConsumer<ProductCompleteDTO> productBatchListConsumer() {
    return new GenericBatchListConsumer<>("productBatchListConsumer");
}

Where GenericBatchListConsumer is defined as:

public class GenericBatchListConsumer<T> implements Consumer<List<T>> {
    // ...
}

Instead of deserializing to the expected type, the message payload arrives as raw bytes:

Received Batch List productBatchListConsumer Consumer: [123, 34, 105, 100, 34, 58, 49, ...]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone the demo repository
2. Update pom.xml with:
   • Spring Cloud BOM: 2025.1.1
   • Spring Boot: 4.0.3
3. Run ./mvnw spring-boot:run (Kafka starts automatically via Docker Compose)
4. Send the same test messages from the original issue
5. Check the logs for the byte array payload symptom

Environment

Bắt đầu bằng cách chạy bản demo với ./mvnw spring-boot:run sau khi kiểm tra các thay đổi phiên bản trong pom.xml, sau đó theo dõi bean productBatchListConsumer và chữ ký GenericBatchListConsumer được mô tả trong issue. So sánh batch payload của nó với các consumer đang hoạt động; công việc được xem là hoàn tất khi nó được deserialize thành các giá trị ProductCompleteDTO thay vì các byte thô, đồng thời các consumer hiện có ở chế độ single và batch vẫn tiếp tục hoạt động.
