@GraalReflectable

To make use of reflection with AOT compilation, GraalVM requires explicit reflection invocations or may use a configuration file to explicitly document the classes, constructors, methods and fields that may be used in reflection invocations.

Labeling any class, constructor, method or field with @GraalReflectable will generate a file in SubstrateVM's configuration format suitable for passing to native-image with the -H:ReflectionConfigurationResources or -H:ReflectionConfigurationFiles arguments.

When applied to a class, @GraalReflectable supports the following options:

• allPublicConstructors: default true
• allPublicFields: default true
• allPublicMethods: default true
• allDeclaredConstructors: default false
• allDeclaredFields: default false
• allDeclaredMethods: default false

When applied to a field, @GraalReflectable supports the following options:

• allowWrite: default false

To make use of the annotation, one should configure the corresponding annotation processor provided by com.palantir.graal.annotations:graal-annotation-processors bundle.

The configuration file will be emitted to META-INF/graal/reflection-config.json.
