Spring expression fails after upgrade to SpringBoot 2.2

Question

I had an application which was on SpringBoot 1.5.9. I recently upgraded to SpringBoot 2.2. I had a bunch of issues which I fixed, and now the app starts up without errors.

However, I have a @PreAuthorize on my controller methods which seems to be failing:

@PreAuthorize("not @appConfig.getSecEnabled() or hasRole('ROLE')") public void someMethod() {}

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to evaluate expression 'not @appConfig.getSecEnabled() or hasRole('ROLE')'

What has changed in 2.2 that could cause this?
