Simple Aspect not Executing - spring-boot

Question

I had this Aspect working then all of a sudden it stopped. #AfterThrowing all classes in and below the pointcut. You can see I added a constructor to the Aspect to ensure it is picked up by Spring and it is. Below is a class that I stepped through and watched exceptions thrown and handled. Just throwing (no pun intended) this out there to see if any one notices something.

Answer 1

My method did not throw and exception. It was handled internally so Spring see it.
