oracle driver and serialization conflict

[a483210]

Description

Introducing com.oracle.database.jdbc:ojdbc11:21.9.0.0 into the application and then packaging it as Native will result in a serialization error.

The error is consistent with quarkusio oracle driver and serialization conflict.

Cause of the error

The reason for the error is that there is a file oracle.nativeimage.Target_java_io_ObjectStreamClass in the oracle driver, which replaces the code of java.io.ObjectStreamClass during graalVM compilation.

Solution

In quarkus, there is a RemovedResourceBuildItem that can delete a class file of a certain Jar package before compilation. This is quarkus’s solution.

I haven’t found anything similar in SpringBoot yet, so I currently repackaged the oracle driver and uploaded it to my own maven repository.

Is there a more elegant solution in SpringBoot?

Environment

• Spring Boot version number: 3.0.2
• GraalVM version number: graalvm64-ce-17.0.5-22.3.0
• OracleDriver version number: com.oracle.database.jdbc:ojdbc11:21.9.0.0
• Operating system information: MacOS

Steps to reproduce

• 1.Create a new Spring Boot project and add Oracle database dependencies;
• 2.Configure Oracle database connection and use Oracle database Driver;
• 3.Build the application into a Native image;
• 4.Start the Native image and the above error message appears.

Hello,

I was about to open the same bug today 😄

My solution, other then 'repackaged the oracle driver', was to downgrade the ojdbc version to 21.1.0.0, since the class performing that substitution was introduced in v21.3.0.0.

Here's a repo to replicate the issue (don't need to use the ojdbc, just being in the classpath toghether with spring-boot-starter-logging and using a logback.xml or logback-spring.xml) : spring-native-ojdbc

Environment

• Spring Boot version number: 3.0.5
• GraalVM version number: GraalVM CE 22.3.1
• OracleDriver version number: com.oracle.database.jdbc:ojdbc11:21.7.0.0
• Operating system information: Oracle Linux Server 8.7

@damianopittori thanks for the sample.

@a483210 this is an issue in the Oracle driver that disables core JDK features via a substitution. There's nothing we can do about it. I'll do my best to share the issue but if you have a support contract, please report it as well.

[damianopittori]

The issue has been fixed in the latest version of the Oracle driver com.oracle.database.jdbc:ojdbc11:23.2.0.0 released on April 07, 2023.

[snicoll]

@damianopittori thanks. I also got in touch with the team at Oracle and they will backport the fix to 21.9 if I understood correctly.

[maradanasai]

@snicoll Even with 21.9 version, able to reproduce this issue.

I'm using spring boot 3.2.2 and native-image-community:21-ol8 jdk version

[wilkinsona]

@maradanasai Oracle may not yet have back ported the fix to 21.9, we don't know. You'll have to ask Oracle for up-to-date information on the status of any back port.

[maradanasai]

Got it @wilkinsona Are there any work arounds to get it fixed temporarily?

[wilkinsona]

@a483210 describes their approach above. You may want to try doing the same. Beyond that, you may want to ask the GraalVM community if it's possible to ignore a substitution or to reverse a substitution's effects so that serialization isn't disabled.
