This happening when running Spring Boot application in Native Image mode.\n\nFor example:\nwe have following `application.properties`\n\n```yaml\nspring:\n  http:\n    clients:\n      connect-timeout: 5000\n      read-timeout: 5000\n    serviceclient:\n      myclient:\n        base-url: https://example.com\n```\n\nAnd following config for this client:\n```java\n@Configuration\n@ImportHttpServices(group = \"myclient\", types = MyClient.class)\npublic class RestClientsConfig {\n}\n```\nWhere MyClient.java is\n```java\npublic interface MyClient {\n\n    @GetExchange(\"/hello\")\n    SomeResponseDto hello();\n}\n```\nNow when we try to call our client `myClient.hello()` we'll get\n\nThis exception\n\n```\njava.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI with undefined scheme\n\tat java.net.http@25/jdk.internal.net.http.common.Utils.newIAE(Utils.java:394)\n\tat java.net.http@25/jdk.internal.net.http.HttpRequestBuilderImpl.checkURI(HttpRequestBuilderImpl.java:81)\n\tat java.net.http@25/jdk.internal.net.http.HttpRequestBuilderImpl.uri(HttpRequestBuilderImpl.java:73)\n\tat java.net.http@25/jdk.internal.net.http.HttpRequestBuilderImpl.uri(HttpRequestBuilderImpl.java:45)\n\tat org.springframework.http.client.JdkClientHttpRequest.buildRequest(JdkClientHttpRequest.java:167)\n\tat org.springframework.http.client.JdkClientHttpRequest.executeInternal(JdkClientHttpRequest.java:117)\n\tat org.springframework.http.client.AbstractStreamingClientHttpRequest.executeInternal(AbstractStreamingClientHttpRequest.java:87)\n\tat org.springframework.http.client.AbstractClientHttpRequest.execute(AbstractClientHttpRequest.java:80)\n\tat org.springframework.web.client.DefaultRestClient$DefaultRequestBodyUriSpec.exchangeInternal(DefaultRestClient.java:609)\n\tat org.springframework.web.client.DefaultRestClient$DefaultRequestBodyUriSpec.exchange(DefaultRestClient.java:567)\n\tat org.springframework.web.client.RestClient$RequestHeadersSpec.exchange(RestClient.java:750)\n\tat org.springframework.web.client.DefaultRestClient$DefaultResponseSpec.executeAndExtract(DefaultRestClient.java:908)\n\tat org.springframework.web.client.DefaultRestClient$DefaultResponseSpec.body(DefaultRestClient.java:831)\n\tat org.springframework.web.client.support.RestClientAdapter.exchangeForBody(RestClientAdapter.java:79)\n\tat org.springframework.web.service.invoker.HttpServiceMethod$ExchangeResponseFunction.lambda$create$4(HttpServiceMethod.java:442)\n\tat org.springframework.web.service.invoker.HttpServiceMethod$ExchangeResponseFunction.execute(HttpServiceMethod.java:399)\n\tat org.springframework.web.service.invoker.HttpServiceMethod.invoke(HttpServiceMethod.java:134)\n\tat org.springframework.web.service.invoker.HttpServiceProxyFactory$HttpServiceMethodInterceptor.invoke(HttpServiceProxyFactory.java:300)\n```\n\nI'm using `Spring Boot 4.0.3` and gradle plugin `org.graalvm.buildtools.native 0.11.4`. Image is built by `./gradlew bootBuildImage`\n\nThere is no issue when running application in standard(non-native) mode ","author":{"url":"https://github.com/imaxvell","@type":"Person","name":"imaxvell"},"datePublished":"2026-02-19T16:57:42Z","url":"https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/49274"}
