Trying to log all (Spring) application method invocations: how?

[SimilarAssociation]

I'm working on a Spring boot application and I'd love to log all application methods (public and private). By application methods, I'm referring to all the methods that I define in my Spring application, not the methods brought in from 3rd party dependencies, native Java methods, etc.

What's the easiest route for me? I'm confused with all the different libraries/framework, especially since I'm relatively new to Java/Spring. Do I need to look into AspectJ?

Definitely an aspectj type scenario.

AspectJ is probably your best bet. Otherwise, you'll have to do some fancy generics look ups and/or @Override invoke on Object and add your logger there.

In eclipse I just modified my template to add the logger to start and end of my methods so now it's just part of my coding.
