Tired of copy-pasting logger.info() into every single method of your Spring Boot application? In this quick, hands-on tutorial, we solve that problem by building a custom LoggingAspect using Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP).
We are skipping the heavy theory and jumping straight into the code. I will show you exactly which dependency you need to add to your pom.xml to unlock AOP features, and then we will code a LoggingAspect class from scratch that automatically logs every time a controller method is executed.
What you will learn in this video:
How to add the correct spring-boot-starter-aop dependency
