Following the guide here it works perfectly.

But if have have a java agent, newrelic for example you get an error (at the bottom).

Appreciate that it looks more of a Java limitation than a spring related issue.

Reason I've raised it here is that probably in this place is common to have a java agent (new relic, datadog etc...)

Is there a way to have it working?

So far I tried: - Removing the java agent and it just works (of course) - passing -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent -XX:AOTMode=record... which still doesn't work with same error. But even if it did I wonder if it's the correct thing to do

I'm not personally aware of anyone using agents with AOT/CDS. Perhaps a question on stackoverflow.com might gain traction. I'm going to close this one here as we prefer to keep the issue tracker for bugs and enhancements and it doesn't look like there's anything we can do to help make things work.
