Description
Overview
See #28491 for background information.
In JDK dynamic proxies created by Spring AOP, we could potentially introduce support for automatically invoking default methods (or make it easier via a utility).
Available Java APIs
java.lang.reflect.Method.isDefault()java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler.invokeDefault(Object, Method, Object...)

Research direction
Start by reading issue #28491 for the referenced background, then review the JDK APIs Method.isDefault() and InvocationHandler.invokeDefault(Object, Method, Object...). Determine the intended Spring AOP dynamic-proxy entry point and whether the desired outcome is automatic default-method invocation or a utility; done requires a decided, tested approach.
