Regression in (Simple)ClientHttpRequestFactory concerning Nativehints

[goafabric]

Description
The Regression concerning Nativehints + (Simple)ClientHttpRequestFactory
that was fixed multiple times, is again existent in 0.12.
See #1370

Setting a ConnectionTimeout e.g. via RestTemplateBuilder:
new RestTemplateBuilder().setConnectTimeout(Duration.ofMillis(timeout))

Symptom
Crashes during Bootstrap:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Request factory class org.springframework.http.client.SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory does not have a suitable setConnectTimeout method

Mitigation
As always we can mitigate this, by setting a manual Typehint:
@typehint(types = org.springframework.http.client.SimpleClientHttpRequestFactory.class, access = {TypeAccess.DECLARED_CONSTRUCTORS, TypeAccess.PUBLIC_METHODS})

But it would be nice if this thing get's fixed once and for all.
Really odd that is .. because #1370 seems to contain a merge request that sets the hints.

Thanks for the report. I'll add a sample to that our CI will catch that in the future.

Huh, this is indeed very strange. The hints are there, but they are not generated into the reflect-config.json.

When i add

@MethodHint(name = "setProxy", parameterTypes = Proxy.class)

this will show up in the JSON. Maybe the primitive type handling is broken, because int and boolean don't show up. Have to debug the JSON file generation.

Running it with debug output reveals:

org.springframework.nativex.type.Type    : Unable to fully resolve method setConnectTimeout(int)
org.springframework.nativex.type.Type    : Unable to fully resolve method setReadTimeout(int)
org.springframework.nativex.type.Type    : Unable to fully resolve method setBufferRequestBody(boolean)

This is logged from org.springframework.nativex.type.Type#unpackMethodInfo, and it seems that it can't resolve primitive types.
