**Kibana version** :  
8.5.3  
**Elasticsearch version** :  
8.5.3  
**APM Server version** :  
8.5.3  
**APM Agent language and version** :  
1.36.0 Java

I noticed that the Elastic APM Java agent is not detecting Spring RestController names in Spring boot 3. All the HTTP transactions are marked as DispatcherServlet#doGet instead of ControllerName#MethodName.

Or is this because Spring Web MVC 6.x (used by Spring boot 3) is not supported yet. If so is there an expected release date? For now I can override my transaction names with the agent java API.

**Steps to reproduce** :

1. Start sample Spring boot RestApplication with 1 rest controller with a GetMapping with APM agent attached
2. Observe transaction name in the APM UI is always DispatcherServlet#doGet

You are correct, this is because we don't support spring 6 yet. We are actively working on it, you can follow [this issue](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-java/issues/2942) to track the progress.
