Starting with version 6.0, GraalVM compilation of Spring Integration applications to native images is supported by Spring AOT native hints. For most common use cases, such as endpoint definitions with @Bean methods, Java DSL configuration with lambdas and @MessagingGateway interface scanning (importing), the framework provides respective reflection, proxy and serialization hints. If configuration uses messaging annotations (@ServiceActivator, @Splitter etc.) on POJO methods, or POJO methods are used with the IntegrationFlowBuilder.handle(Object service, String methodName) API, they have to be also marked with a @Reflective annotation since they are invoked by the framework reflectively.spring-doc.cn

XML configuration is not supported for native images.

As stated before, service interfaces with the @MessagingGateway annotation, when they are scanned by the @IntegrationComponentScan or used in an @Import annotation, are processed by the framework and the respective proxy hint is exposed into the AOT contribution. When gateways are declared using the IntegrationFlow.from(Class<?> serviceInterface) API, the proxy configured for such interfaces have to be exposed manually:spring-doc.cn

@Configuration
@EnableIntegration
@ImportRuntimeHints(GatewayRuntimeHints.class)
public class IntegrationConfiguration {

    @Bean
    IntegrationFlow someFlow() {
        return IntegrationFlow.from(SomeGateway)
                  // ...
                   .get();
    }

    public interface SomeGateway {

        void doSomething(Object payload);

    }

    private static class GatewayRuntimeHints implements RuntimeHintsRegistrar {

        @Override
        public void registerHints(RuntimeHints hints, ClassLoader classLoader) {
            hints.proxies().registerJdkProxy(
                                   AopProxyUtils.completeJdkProxyInterfaces(SomeGateway));
        }

    }

}
The IntegrationFlow content is not processed during the AOT processing phase. Therefore, some hints, such as the one mentioned above for a gateway proxy, must be provided by the target application.

Of course, configuration is just a piece of an integration solution. The most important part is data transferring over the network as well as persistent storage. That’s where serialization comes handy for many use-cases. Spring Integration exposes serialization hints into a native image configuration for these types used by the framework internally: String, Number, Long, Date, ArrayList, HashMap, Properties, Hashtable, Exception, UUID, GenericMessage, ErrorMessage, MessageHeaders, AdviceMessage, MutableMessage, MutableMessageHeaders, MessageGroupMetadata, MessageHolder, MessageMetadata, MessageHistory, MessageHistory.Entry, DelayHandler.DelayedMessageWrapper. For user specific data, mostly present as a message payload, the serialization hint must be exposed manually via a RuntimeHintsRegistrar implementation, as is shown above for a gateway proxy, and the respective RuntimeHints.serialization().registerType() API.spring-doc.cn

It is recommended that native integration applications are developed with Spring Boot, using its respective build tools.
