AspectJ doesn't work when bean is defined as the interface in configuration for a native application

[Ferioney]

When I declared bean as a class in configuration Aspect worked as expected, but when as an interface - application failed.

I prepared a small demo to show the issue: demo_aspect_native.

• DefaultHomeService - service with aspect
• HomeAspect - aspect
• Hint configuration
• bean declaration

Steps:

• provide service bean as class: bean declaration
• run application as regular app
• GET /home and see that Aspect works: "From aspect: Welcome!"
• stop app
• build native application: mvn -Pnative native:compile
• run app: ./target/demo
• GET /home and see that Aspect works: "From aspect: Welcome!"
• change service bean declaration from class to interface (from DefaultHomeService to HomeService in bean declaration)
• build native application: mvn -Pnative native:compile
• run app: ./target/demo: application doesn't start with error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: error Type referred to is not an annotation type: com$example$demo$logic$AspectAnnotation

In my real project (with almost the same configuration) when I declared a bean as an interface application started. but aspect doesn't work.
Thanks!

Support for aspects in a native image is a Spring Framework feature. Please review spring-projects/spring-framework#28711 which may be relevant here. If you feel that you have a different problem that is not covered by 28711, please open a new Spring Framework issue.
