Spring spring aop advise not applied for methods invoked from same class

Affects: \

2.0.5.RELEASE

Issue

When a method is annotated for Spring AOP, if the method is invoked from the spring bean, the advise would be applied.

class ABC{    
   @TimeIt
    public void processABC(String date) {

   }

    public void processABC() {
     String date = LocalDate.now(zoneId).toString();
      return processsABC(date)_;
   }
}

if processABC is directly invoked from the bean, the advise would be applied

abc.processABC("2021-06-07"); //the advise of TimeIt would be invoked.

However, if the method is invoked by another method in the same class, the advise is not applied.

abc.processABC(); //which subsequently call processABC(String date)
//however the advise of TimeIt is not invoked.

That is to be expected considering that, in the second case, the call doesn't go through the proxy that is generated for the @TimeIt aspect.
