Hey guys I am getting the following error on Spring-Boot when running an App I have:

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

Can you add your pom file – Darra 3/8, 2020 at 13:32

Are you using spring aop? what is the spring version? – Darra 3/8, 2020 at 13:40

no, thats the weird thing I am not using aop @ArghyaSadhu spring version: 2.2.7.RELEASE – Whacky 3/8, 2020 at 14:7

Could you show the code (or at least the declaration & method signatures) from com/project/service/config/MicrometerConfig? That's the class from where the AOP stuff seems to be referenced. – Versicolor 3/8, 2020 at 15:29

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>

Thanks! Also you can use spring-boot-starter-data-jpa which brings spring-aspect. – Mollie 27/2 at 13:58

Adding spring-boot-starter-aop in my spring boot application solved the problem.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-aop</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.0</version>
</dependency>

This answer really works for me contrary to the accepted answer. – Pennyweight 5/7 at 8:47
