[GraalVM] No serializer found for class com.amazonaws.services.xray.model.GetSamplingRulesRequest

[smoell]

Hi all,

I've implemented a Spring Boot application using Spring Native and GraalVM. With JDK 17 everything works fine, application runs without an issue in Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate, but using GraalVM (graalvm-ce-java17-22.0.0.2), I get the follwing error when trying to send a sampling request:

Hi @smoell,

The com.amazonaws.services.xray.model.GetSamplingRulesRequest class is actually part of the AWS SDK for Java - X-Ray module. Not part of the aws-xray-sdk-java lib. Do you have a sample application you could share to show this error?

@msailes I get the same "Could not serialize and send request" when I followed https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray/latest/devguide/xray-sdk-java-aop-spring.html
