I'm trying to use @configurable in spring to use a @autowired service in a non bean class I create.
It doesn't want to work anymore whatever I try.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? (I did some research but I'm totally clueless now)
Here is a very basic code example I made :

Configuration ComponentScan class
package com.example.demo2;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.aspectj.EnableSpringConfigured;
@Configuration
@ComponentScan
@EnableSpringConfigured
public class AspectJConfig
{
    
}
@SpringBootApplication class
package com.example.demo2;
import javax.annotation.PostConstruct;
//import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.jdbc.DataSourceAutoConfiguration;

public class Demo2Application
{
    //@Autowired
    //private HelloWorldService helloWorldService;
    
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        SpringApplication.run(Demo2Application.class, args);
    }
    
    @PostConstruct
    public void doSomethingIProbablyShouldNotBeDoing()
    {
        //helloWorldService.sayHello();
        HelloWorldClient client = new HelloWorldClient();
        client.sayHello();
    }
    
}
class with @Configurable and @Autowired service
package com.example.demo2;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Configurable;
@Configurable
public class HelloWorldClient
{
    @Autowired
    private HelloWorldService service;
    
    public void sayHello()
    {
        // Used injected instance of service
        service.sayHello();
    }
}
@Service class
package com.example.demo2;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
@Service
public class HelloWorldService
{
    public void sayHello()
    {
        System.out.println("Hello world!");
    }
}
Also here is a link to my previous post on that subject. I did received an answer to my question that was working. But for whatever reason it doesn't work anymore on my side.
