bridge-domain on Catalyst 8300

Hi

I need to know, if I can create a layer2 bridge-domain and apply them to multiple router ports on a Cat8300 (running in the IOS-XE mode). For example something like this:

interface bdi 100
  ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0 
  
interface gigabitethernet 0/0/1
 service instance 100 ethernet
 encapsulation dot1q 100
 bridge-domain 100
 
interface gigabitethernet 0/0/2
 service instance 100 ethernet
 encapsulation dot1q 100
 bridge-domain 100

Is this supported?
Do i need the Advantage license for this?
Is spanning-tree supported on Cat8300?
Where can I find the configuration guide for this? I found the "MPLS L2VPN" configuration guide, but nothing for a "local bridge" configuration.

I know that I can insert switching-modules, but I would like to know, if I can do this on layer3 router ports.
