Description

After upgraded to spring boot 3.1.0 configuration of kafka server via configuration property spring.kafka.properties.bootstrap.servers no longer working.

Always using default value localhost:9092 and therefore unable to connect.

Workaround to make it work is using configuration property spring.kafka.bootstrapServers but I don't think this is the intended way for configuration.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Kafka configuration using spring.kafka.properties.bootstrap.servers and compare it with spring.kafka.bootstrapServers. Trace the Spring Boot Kafka property binding entry point and make the configuration fail fast when the generic property duplicates a supported spring.kafka property, with an actionable error indicating the preferred property.
