AspectJ with Spring IOException in certain situtations

Question

with my AspectJ Spring application when ever I use ProceedingJoinPoint as an argument or when ever I attempt to capture from all controllers e.g hello.controllers.* I get an I/O Exception. This however does not occur when I reference the class directly and use only JointPoint not ProceedingJointPoint.

[2017-09-06 10:01:17,311] Artifact daniel2:war exploded: java.io.IOException: com.sun.enterprise.admin.remote.RemoteFailureException: Error occurred during deployment: Exception while loading the app : java.lang.IllegalStateException: ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'messageSource' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/dispatcher-servlet.xml]: BeanPostProcessor before instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.security.config.annotation.method.configuration.GlobalMethodSecurityConfiguration': BeanPostProcessor before instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.transaction.config.internalTransactionAdvisor': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'org.springframework.transaction.annotation.AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource#0' while setting bean property 'transactionAttributeSource'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.transaction.annotation.AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource#0': BeanPostProcessor before instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ProceedingJoinPoint is only supported for around advice. Please see server.log for more details.

My AspectJ file

@Aspect
public class XSSAspect {
    @Around(value = "execution(* hello.controllers.*(..))")
    public void before(final ProceedingJoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {
        Object[] arguments = joinPoint.getArgs();
        for (int i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
            if (arguments[i] instanceof String) {
                String s = (String) arguments[i];
                s = "testing";
                arguments[i] = s;
            }
        }

        joinPoint.proceed(arguments);
    }
}

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;

import org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile;

@Controller
public class MessageAPIController extends APIController {
    @RequestMapping(value="/message", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String showMessage(String message, ModelMap model) throws Exception {
         model.addAttribute("message", message);
        return new String("message");
    }
}

I have struggled with this issue for hours and would appreciate any insight. Thank you.

1.From the last sentence of your Exception stack ,we can find the reason,"ProceedingJoinPoint is only supported for around advice. Please see server.log for more details."SEE THE PIC

2."ProceedingJoinPoint" can only be used with "@Around ",but you use it with "@Before".
