Descriptions

After upgrading a Spring Cloud project to Spring Cloud 2025.0.0 and Spring Cloud Alibaba 2025.0.0.0, we are encountering runtime / startup errors.

The application fails to start or behaves unstably, especially around: Dubbo SPI extension loading Dubbo service invocation Integration between Spring Cloud 2025.x and Spring Cloud Alibaba

This blocks our attempt to upgrade to the 2025.x release line.

Research direction
Investigate the Dubbo SPI extension loading and service invocation failures when upgrading to Spring Boot 3.5.x, Spring Cloud 2025.0.0, and Spring Cloud Alibaba 2025.0.0.0. Check the Dubbo integration modules with Spring Cloud and Alibaba for compatibility issues, and look for any recent changes in the upstream dependencies. Examine the issue comments for any hints from maintainers on the expected adaptation plan. The author is willing to submit a PR, so provide specific guidance on required modifications.
