Having an issue on startup with this spring batch application I have written. This works fine running with the standard JVM. Building the native image I see the following error on startup:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'jaxb': The program tried to reflectively access the proxy class inheriting

   [jakarta.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessorType, org.glassfish.jaxb.core.v2.model.annotation.Locatable]

without it being registered for runtime reflection. Add [jakarta.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessorType, org.glassfish.jaxb.core.v2.model.annotation.Locatable] to the dynamic-proxy metadata to solve this problem. Note: The order of interfaces used to create proxies matters. See https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/native-image/metadata/#dynamic-proxy for help.

The environment I am running on is as follows:

• OpenJDK Runtime Environment GraalVM CE 23.0.1+11.1 (build 23.0.1+11-jvmci-b01)
• XUbuntu 24.10
• Maven 3.9.9
• spring boot 3.4.1
• graalvm metadata version: 0.3.15

I realize that additional metadata needs to be supplied for graalvm to resolve the issue, but I am not sure how to go about it.

For the jaxb runtime I am using:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.2</version>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

The default version for spring boot is version 4.0.5 however I can see in the graalvm metadata repository is 3.0.2 which I have changed to and the error is clearer. Using version 4.0.5 and it is complaining about XMLType and the props value in the generated code from the XSD.
