XML Configuration is not picked in native image.

[jogender-dext]

I created a simple spring boot web application which uses applicationContext.xml to define a bean. The application runs fine on jvm and serves a simple hello user message on rest call. But when I convert this application to spring boot native image it fails to run because it cannot find this bean defined in the applicationContext.xml. I used @ImportResource("applicationContext.xml") to read the context file. The xml is placed in src/main/resources folder. It seems that spring native image cannot read the xml file and completely ignores it.
I have build the image using native build tools with GraalVM distribution.
Can you please help.

I see that the xml configuration beans in this git project https://github.com/spring-tips/spring-boot-3-aot works fine. I found the problem is with creating and injecting beans with properties via constructor or setter injections. I am using spring version 6.0.10 and spring boot version 3.
Can you please let me know if this a limitation on the spring in current version and if we have an open issue for this. Thanks.
