This is the code that I managed to use in order to removed the exception that you mentioned. Basically you have to implement the LoadTimeWeavingConfigurer and override the method getLoadTimeWeaver().

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "org.myproject")
@EnableAspectJAutoProxy
@EnableSpringConfigured
@EnableLoadTimeWeaving(aspectjWeaving = EnableLoadTimeWeaving.AspectJWeaving.AUTODETECT)
public class Config implements LoadTimeWeavingConfigurer {

    @Override
    public LoadTimeWeaver getLoadTimeWeaver() {
        return new ReflectiveLoadTimeWeaver();
    }

    @Bean
    public InstrumentationLoadTimeWeaver loadTimeWeaver()  throws Throwable {
        InstrumentationLoadTimeWeaver loadTimeWeaver = new InstrumentationLoadTimeWeaver();
        return loadTimeWeaver;
    }

}
