It is needed to know more about how to reproduce that. And for example, a simple project using maven would be great to reproduce. At least, we would know if you are using javamelody-core or javamelody-spring-boot-starter and which version exactly.

At the moment, I see in the stacktrace that you deploy using javax.management if I see well and it seems unusual. A war file in the webapps directory would be a more standard test.

Hi @evernat , I am actually working on migrating an enterprise application from Java 8 to Java 17 due to Java 8 being out of Long-term support by our vendor. This was the error from that.

I made a test repo here: https://github.com/java-corner/javamelody-java17-test

In my pom.xml, I added these to test whether JpaPersistence class can be found

net.bull.javamelody
javamelody-core
2.1.0

jakarta.persistence jakarta.persistence-api 3.0.0

I tested this and it worked OK.

So it cannot be reproduced. I do not think that it is a real issue.

@evernat Yes, its because the project I was working was importing individual dependencies instead of using spring-boot-start-data-jpa from the get-go so there was some errors. I fixed it by adding the proper imports for now. Thank you!
