Question

Trying to create a native image using GraalVM and Spring Boot. The app itself works when i use the mvn spring-boot:run command, but when I build my native image and try to run it, I get this exception:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory': org.hibernate.bytecode.spi.BytecodeProvider: org.hibernate.bytecode.internal.bytebuddy.BytecodeProviderImpl Unable to get public no-arg constructor

I've tried to mess with the pom file, use different plugins and dependencies, but of no avail.

The command I use to build the image is:

mvn -Pnative native:compile

This is my pom.xml:

Answer 1

I guess I found the issue. I decompiled the code for hibernate-core 6.4.4 that comes from Spring Boot 3.2.4 version.

Interestingly, I found out that BytecodeProviderImpl class present in it supports only JDK 11.

This is the constructor which checks for VM from JDK 11:

public BytecodeProviderImpl() {
   this(ClassFileVersion.ofThisVm(ClassFileVersion.JAVA_V11));
}

The fact that you are trying to execute the code using JDK 22 that I can see from logs.

That's why the code is unable to compile giving this absurd error.

I will suggest to check whether or not downgrading JDK 22 to 11 works for you.

Answer 2

Was able to solve it myself, although not in the way I originally imagined.

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/39744

Apparently, there is an issue with Hibernate and it needs to be downgraded to at least 6.4.2 (the current version is 6.5.0.CR1) in the properties section of the POM.xml.
