I am not entirely sure why this happens. I suspect that maybe a dependency is missing but as I am new to spring boot, I dont really understand what the error message states exactly. Does any of you have an idea why this error occurs? If so, could you please let me know how you came into this conclusion? Let me know if I should post my pom file. Thanks in advance
The ProceedingJoinPoint is available in the org.aspectj:aspectjweaver dependency, which is included in the org.springframework:spring-aspects dependency.
To resolve the issue, include the following dependency in your POM file --
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-aspects</artifactId>
</dependency>
