 Call the "service" method and if it fails with a `RemoteAccessException` then it will retry (up to three times by default), and then execute the "recover" method if unsuccessful.

 Sometimes there is some business processing that you know you want to retry every time it happens. The classic example of this is the remote service call. Spring Retry provides an AOP interceptor that wraps a method call in a `RetryOperations` for just this purpose. The `RetryOperationsInterceptor` executes the intercepted method and retries on failure according to the `RetryPolicy` in the provided `RepeatTemplate`.

+#### Additional Dependencies
+The declarative approach to applying retry handling using the `@Retryable` annotation shown above has an additional 
+runtime dependency on AOP classes that need to be declared in your project. If your app is implemented using Spring 
+Boot, this dependency is best resolved using the Spring Boot starter for AOP. For example, for Gradle, add the following 
+line to your build.gradle -
+```
+    runtime('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-aop')
+```
+For non-Boot apps, declare a runtime dependency on the latest version of AspectJ's aspectjweaver module. For example, 
+for Gradle, add the following line to your build.gradle -   
+```
+    runtime('org.aspectj:aspectjweaver:1.8.13')
