How can i use before and can use proceedingJoinPoint

In Spring AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming), the `ProceedingJoinPoint` interface is a powerful tool that allows you to control method execution flow around the pointcut. The `before` advice in AOP is typically used when you want to perform some action before the target method is called.

Here's an example of how you might use `before` and `proceedingJoinPoint`:

import org.aspectj.lang.JoinPoint;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Before;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@Aspect
@Component
public class LoggingAspect {

    @Before("execution(* com.example.service.MyService.*(..))") // Pointcut for methods in MyService
    public void logMethodCall(JoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {
        // Before advice: Record the start time or log something before executing the method
        long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
        System.out.println("Executing " + joinPoint.getSignature() + " ...");

        // ProceedingJoinPoint is passed to access the target method
        ProceedingJoinPoint pjp = joinPoint.proceed(); 

        try {
            // Method execution happens here
            pjp.proceed(); // Call the actual service method

            // After successful execution, record end time or log completion message
            long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
            System.out.println("Completed " + joinPoint.getSignature() + " in " + (endTime - startTime) + "ms");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // Handle exceptions
            System.err.println("Error executing " + joinPoint.getSignature() + ": " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

In this code snippet, we define an aspect that logs the start time of any method in the `MyService`. Then, using `proceedingJoinPoint`, we call the original method (`pjp.proceed()`) after logging. If an exception occurs during method execution, it is caught and handled within the `catch` block.
