Creating library using Spring boot and aspectj - spring-boot

Question

I have created a library using spring boot and aspectj.
I have created a configuration class
#Configuration
#EnableAspectJAutoProxy
#ComponentScan(basePackages="com.x.y")
public class LoggerConfig {
}
A class for the annotation
#Target(ElementType.METHOD)
#Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public #interface EnableHttpLogging {
}
and a class for the aspect
#Aspect
#Component
public class LoggerAspect {
#Around("execution(* *(..)) && #annotation(EnableHttpLogging)")
public Object handleController(final ProceedingJoinPoint proceedingJoinPoint)
throws Throwable {
LOG.info("controller....before ");
return proceedingJoinPoint.proceed();
}
}
An error has occured after importing a class configuration "#Import(LoggerConfig.class)" into my application and trying to run it, i have the following error:
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'embeddedServletContainerCustomizerBeanPostProcessor': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: error Type referred to is not an annotation type: EnableHttpLogging

You need to modify the method signature of handleController and the parameter provided inside #annotation. The example shown below should work.
#Aspect
#Component
#Slf4j
public class LoggerAspect {
#Around("execution(* *(..)) && #annotation(annotation)")
public Object handleController(
final ProceedingJoinPoint proceedingJoinPoint,
EnableHttpLogging annotation)
throws Throwable {
LOG.info("controller....before ");
return proceedingJoinPoint.proceed();
}
}
