Problem Description

Hello, I created Helidon MP application for CRUD functionality using JPA 3.0 Jakarta integration with Hibernate. Everything works fine during standard building with helidon dev and mvn clean package. The problem occurs while trying to build application as a native executable using GraalVM.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Application is available here https://github.com/szachmati/product-api/tree/master/helidon
2. Run mvn clean package -DskipTests -Pnative-image command in x64 Native Tools Command Prompt(Windows)
3. See logs

I also tried to build native executable with JPA for Helidon 2.5.4 from scratch(https://helidon.io/starter/2.5.4), but it didn't work for Hibernate and EclipseLink

Should this issue also be sent to GrallVM team?

Hello, Helidon 3 does not (yet) support GraalVM 22.3, please use 21.x
We are now working on supporting it: #5308

There are multiple issues that you would encounter - one of them is the module accessibility, then we use --initialize-at-build-time by default.

To fix your problem, you can add --add-exports=org.graalvm.nativeimage.builder/com.oracle.svm.core.configure=ALL-UNNAMED to native image arguments

[tomas-langer]

I will close this issue, as the version you use is not supported now. When we release next version of 3.x, 22.3.0 will be the minimal required version.

Hi @tomas-langer sorry for so late response, I forgot to answer. In case someone else occurs such error here is workaround.
mvn clean package -DskipTests
and after creating jar file in target
native-image -jar target/app.jar
now it works 😄

Regards
