How can I pass a method into a functional interface for a retry and have it be generic?

I want to a create a functional interface or default method where I pass in a jpa repository method such as findById or findByNumber and have it return a generic type; this way I annotate it with @Retryable if the application fails to connect to db. Below are examples of methods I want passed through the functional interface:

Employee employee = repository.findById("2ed21");
Record record = repository.findbyNumber(311);

How about a simple method with a Supplier as a parameter where you can put literally anything?

@Retryable(...)
public <T> T retry(Supplier<T> supplier) {
    return supplier.get();
}

Usage:

Employee employee = retry(() -> repository.findById("2ed21"));
Record record = retry(() -> repository.findbyNumber(311));

Few notes:

• You need to invoke a method annotated with @Retryable from a different bean to overcome a limitation of Spring AOP. To be honest I have never worked with @Retryable but I guess it would work the same way as @Transactional, related: Spring @Transaction method call by the method within the same class, does not work?
• I haven't tested the solution.
