Setting spring.aot.enabled=true causes stack overflow

[yozaner1324]

I have a basic Spring Boot app using web and GemFire. When I run it with aot enabled, like this: java -Dspring.aot.enabled=true -jar build/libs/spring-native-experiment-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar, it breaks, but when I disabled aot, like this: java -Dspring.aot.enabled=false -jar build/libs/spring-native-experiment-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar, it runs as expected.

Spring Boot 3.0.7
GraalVM 17.0.7+8.1
MacOs 13.4 on an M1 Mac

Stack-trace:

The full stack trace is attached as a file because it was too long.

Steps to reproduce:

1. ./gradlew bootJar
2. java -Dspring.aot.enabled=true -jar build/libs/spring-native-experiment-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Thanks for the report and for providing a sample. However, this doesn't build not for me:

> Could not get unknown property 'gemfireRepoUsername' for Credentials [username: null] of type org.gradle.internal.credentials.DefaultPasswordCredentials_Decorated.

I’ve been able to reproduce with additional instructions from the OP. I suspect that the CGLIB proxy and reentrant calls are leading to this. It isn’t a cycle per se as it stops before ending up in a StackOverflow.
