SpringBoot Migrate from spring boot 3.1.5 to 3.2 native image java.util.MissingResourceException

We have a working application running on spring boot 3.1.5 using java 21 as a native image and everything works ok we are trying to upgrade that application to 3.2.0-RC2 to get the benefit of project loom and get prepared for GA release but we see some issue

When we migrate to spring boot 3.2.0-RC2 and upgrade the native build tool to 0.9.28 we get the following error

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'healthEndpointGroupsBeanPostProcessor': BeanPostProcessor before instantiation of bean failed

Comment From: wilkinsona

Thanks for trying to RC.

Spring Boot itself doesn't do anything to make AspectJ's resource bundle available in a native image. That's the responsibility of AspectJ itself (if they choose to support Graal directly) or of the reachability metadata. I would guess that something in your application or its dependencies was providing the necessary hints to Graal to make the resource bundle available and is now no longer doing so. I can't tell what that may have been from the stack trace of the failure. It may be possible from a minimal sample that works with 3.1.5 and fails with 3.2.0-RC2. In the meantime you could add such a hint yourself.

Comment From: Ricard-Kollcaku

it looks like it happens when i add annotation of @EnableJpaAuditing in the main class, but if jpa is using that should not jpa declare for resources for native ? I will create a simple project and push

Comment From: Ricard-Kollcaku

Simple project to reproduce the problem, github project compile it as native using ./gradlew nativeCompile with graalvm for java 21.0.1

Comment From: wilkinsona

but if jpa is using that should not jpa declare for reflection?

Spring Data JPA could do that but we don't think it's the best approach, certainly not in the long run.

In terms of maintainability and benefit to the GraalVM ecosystem as a whole, we think it's better for a project to manage its own GraalVM-related hints. In this case, it's AspectJ that requires access to its message bundle so, ideally, AspectJ would provide the necessary hints. When that hasn't been done, the reachability metadata repository is the next-best option as it allows anyone who is using AspectJ with GraalVM to benefit.

compile it as native using ./gradlew nativeCompile with graalvm for java 21.0.1

Thanks for the sample. I've reproduced the failure described above. Interestingly, if I change build.gradle to set sourceCompatibility to 17 and use GraalVM 22.3.3 (build 17.0.8+7-LTS) the failure changes:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Pointcut is not well-formed: expecting 'identifier' at character position 0

The cause of this error isn't clear to me. It looks like it may be due to AspectJ being unable to extract some information about a pointcut but that's not much more than a slightly educated guess. Given that the problem only occurs with @EnableJpaAuditing I think the Spring Data JPA team are best-placed to continue the investigation. To that end, please open a Spring Data JPA issue and comment here with a link to it.

FWIW, here's the related ticket to add native runtime hints for AspectJ: https://github.com/eclipse-aspectj/aspectj/issues/227
