<title>GraalVM native-image generation</title> | ||
<para> | ||
This chapter describes Jersey's compatibility with GraalVM native image. This functionality is available since | ||
Jersey 2.35 and is under development and configuration. For now Jersey provides native image configuration | ||
basics for some modules and example on how to really generate native image for an existing application. | ||
</para> | ||
<section xml:id="supported_modules"> | ||
<title>Modules with GraalVM native image support</title> | ||
<para> | ||
Currently Jersey provides basic support for native image generation within following modules: | ||
<literal>jersey-common</literal>,<literal>jersey-server</literal>,<literal>jersey-client</literal>, | ||
<literal>jersey-hk2</literal>. | ||
|
||
This support means that most of reflection and resource related settings are extracted into reflect-config | ||
and resource-config JSON files to be used while generating a native image. Those files are included in | ||
the native image generation process automatically (unless some tricky configuration is applied), so there is | ||
no need to include those files manually and/or duplicate their contents in some custom configuration. | ||
</para> | ||
</section> | ||
<section xml:id="native-image"> | ||
<title>HelloWorld native image generation</title> | ||
<para> | ||
The example for the GraalVM native image generation is hidden under examples/helloworld example. | ||
To generate native image there it's required to perform some preliminary steps: | ||
<simplelist> | ||
<member>Download GraalVM at least 20.3.2 version</member> | ||
<member>Set JAVA_HOME to point to that [GraalVM_HOME]</member> | ||
<member>Perform <markup>$JAVA_HOME/bin/gu install native-image</markup> because native-image tool is not bundled within GraalVM itself</member> | ||
<member>Download Jersey examples source codes (preferable some released version like 2.35), | ||
and go to [path_to_jersey_examples]/examples/helloworld</member> | ||
<member>Run <markup>mvn -Pnative-image clean package -DskipTests</markup></member> | ||
</simplelist> | ||
</para> | ||
<para> | ||
If all was correctly performed from previous steps the native image shall be already generated inside the targed folder | ||
of the helloworld example with the name helloworld-native and it's possible to run it by | ||
<programlisting language="bash">target/./helloworld-native</programlisting> | ||
After it's run, console should print our following output: | ||
<screen linenumbering="unnumbered"> | ||

</screen> | ||
If you see this, you can open given link in browser and check how application actually works. | ||
In general we are done here and you can use that example to generate native images for your own projects. | ||
</para> | ||
</section> | ||
<section xml:id="undercover"> | ||
<title>What's under the cover</title> | ||
<para> | ||
For the example above the following command line was used: | ||
<programlisting language="bash"> | ||
-H:EnableURLProtocols=http,https | ||
--initialize-at-build-time=org.glassfish.jersey.client.internal.HttpUrlConnector | ||
-H:+ReportExceptionStackTraces | ||
--verbose | ||
--no-fallback | ||
--report-unsupported-elements-at-runtime | ||
</programlisting> | ||
This might be useful to generate another native image. It's possible to add another bunch of parameters to the command line | ||
(and put those into the <literal>native-image.properties</literal> file inside of your project). Important parameter here is | ||
--initialize-at-build-time (opposite to --initialize-at-run-time) and --no-fallback which says to the native | ||
image to generate pure native image with everything bundled inside the image and not just fall back wrapper for JDK. | ||
</para> | ||
<para> | ||
Another important aspect for generating the native image is the proper listing of reflection classes (classes that use reflection | ||
in an application). For those needs, there is a native image agent which helps to generate those lists automatically. | ||
In order to generate a list of reflection classes (and JNI classes and resources), it is required to run: | ||
<programlisting language="bash">$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -agentlib:native-image-agent=config-output-dir=[output_location] -jar [app_name].jar</programlisting> | ||
And afterwords, the [output_location] directory will be created with generated lists (in JSON format). Those files can be | ||
included as is into native image generation, but it's very preferable to edit them manually to reduce possible ambiguous classes listings. | ||
