That's the thing, I'm not using an agent. We're doing the wrapping at runtime by instrumenting spring beans.

I'm not sure if you are using an agent or not, if you are using an agent, you can redefine a module https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.oracle.com%2Fen%2Fjava%2Fjavase%2F16%2Fdocs%2Fapi%2Fjava.instrument%2Fjava%2Flang%2Finstrument%2FInstrumentation.html%23redefineModule&data=04%7C01%7Cmgrzejszczak%40vmware.com%7Cc45688f3edb8423b9cae08d8fb6ab28a%7Cb39138ca3cee4b4aa4d6cd83d9dd62f0%7C0%7C1%7C637535782975891768%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=RHHLZTpU5RMNx7JHwkgG79%2FHWlXsXYOG8bBw9WaYQCU%3D&reserved=0(java.lang.Module,java.util.Set,java.util.Map,java.util.Map,java.util.Set,java.util.Map) regards, Rémi > > Marcin Grzejszczak > Staff Engineer, Spring Cloud
