Regarding this specific issue, I'd recommend you to build a sample http service with --graalvm flag. Then you can explore how to pass additional flags to graalvm [1]. Once you understand the flow, you can go ahead and explore the compiler plugin to implement this task =). Don't hesitate to reach me if you run into any issues.

Happy coding! 🎉
