Automatic Slug POC

A proof of concept of how to use AspectJ in a Spring application to automatically set an entity's slug or URL. For example, if an entity book existed with the property name of "Twelfth Night," its property slug would automatically become "twelfth-night." That is if it hasn't been used yet—which is checked in the repository.

The concept was interesting because I tried to understand whether such an "auto-magical" population of an object's values is possible and desirable. It's easy to do but, as it turns out, tough to debug.
