Custom ConstraintValidator injects null in native-image

demo project link: https://github.com/mingchiuli/demo

public class AnnoValidator implements ConstraintValidator<Anno, Pojo>  {

    @Resource
    private TestComponent testComponent;

    @Override
    public boolean isValid(Pojo value, ConstraintValidatorContext context) {
        testComponent.call();
        return true;
    }
}

In Spring boot 3.3.6, I found if I injected a component in a implement Class of ConstraintValidator in JVM mode, it worked normal:

(console output:)

123
test

But It would generated a NullPointerExeception in GraalVM's native-image :

2024-12-12T12:46:54.279+08:00 ERROR 36733 --- [demo] [nio-8080-exec-1] o.a.c.c.C.[.[.[/].[dispatcherServlet]    : Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcherServlet] in context with path [] threw exception [Request processing failed: jakarta.validation.ValidationException: HV000028: Unexpected exception during isValid call.] with root cause

java.lang.NullPointerException: null
	at com.example.demo.pkg.AnnoValidator.isValid(AnnoValidator.java:14) ~[demo:na]
	at com.example.demo.pkg.AnnoValidator.isValid(AnnoValidator.java:7) ~[demo:na]

It seems the TestComponent can't be injected in native-image mode

Start with the linked demo project and AnnoValidator.isValid, then compare ConstraintValidator injection in JVM mode with the GraalVM native-image build. Reproduce the NullPointerException and trace why TestComponent is null; done when the validator receives its injected component in native-image mode without breaking JVM behavior.
