Spring的AspectJ NoSuchMethodError

Question

I have a spring web rest project (3.0.4) running with aspectJ (1.8.14) for logging. I have a pointcut defined in all methods that are annotated with @Logging.

When I call a generic helloWorld controller annotated with @Logging. AspectJ works fine.

When I call the real controller annotated with @Logging, which also happens to call a lib jar method that is also annotated with @Logging. Unfortunally, during the inner method call the error below occurs. How does it come that only the method inside the lib has such error?

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
  logging.aop.LoggingAspect.ajc$inlineAccessFieldGet$logging_aop_LoggingAspect$logging_aop_LoggingAspect$pLogger()Lorg/slf4j/Logger;
service.impl.DAOClass.getMethod_aroundBody1$advice(DAOClass.java:101)
service.impl.DAOClass.getMethod(DAOClass.java:1)

What I tried: I checked jdk compiled versions, jar versions in maven dependencies, web.xml and aop.xml configuration and installing AJDT plugin for eclipse photon to debug. I tried to deploy in weblogic to see the class loader, but I was not able to, trying in tomcat i cannot see what is loaded or not.

PS: please do not downgrade the question for lack of code, i would have to make a complete mock to avoid showing company code for now I am looking for people that worked with AOP with spring and has some idea what I am using based on this info plus the error stack. I can make a mock code later if nobody guess what is the cause until there.

Thanks!

No SuchMethodError usually happens when runtime class path contains different version/both version of jar the library was compile against. You should check the pom dependency against runtime class path. I bet it was promoted to newer version which is not backward compatible. How do you package your application, spring boot?
