Applying a custom patch using --patch-module to a java spring boot multi-target application

[bathejasumeet]

Hi All, we are currently trying to patch a java file in the module java.base in a spring boot mta application that we are deploying to btp using cf. The patch seems to be working fine on the local - both via

• the java command executed like this on the generated file " java --patch-module=java.base=patch.jar -jar common-replication-service-application-run.jar "

• and also by including it in pom.xml using "jvmArguments : --patch-module=java.base=patch.jar" and then "executing mvn spring-boot:run"

But when we use mbt build and cf deploy with the patch applied (specifying the regex build-result: "target/*.[wj]ar" to include all jars), the application fails to deploy on cf giving error

 java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not resolve placeholder 'spring.application.name' in value "${spring.application.name}" .

Has anyone patched the java classes before on cf? if so - can someone please advise ?
