Spring Running Native Image threw NullPointerException for initializing OncePerRequestFilter with Order in Spring Boot 3 + GraalVM

Bug description

Here is a class extends OncePerRequestFilter implements Order, add @Value to set Order, just like

public class AFilter extends OncePerRequestFilter implements Order {
    @Value("${filterOrder:0}")
    protected Integer filterOrder;

    @Override
    public int getOrder() {
        return filterOrder;
    }

    ......
}

then

@Bean
public AFilter aFilter() {
    return new AFilter()
}

Those can be compile with GraalVM Native Image, but run it failed

Expected behavior

It can run successfully with JVM mode, so that is also fine in Native mode

Actual behavior

Refer to exception:

Is it a bug? Or what mistake I have made?

I guess it is related with this line (lambda?)

org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.ServletContextInitializerBeans.lambda$getOrderedBeansOfType$1(ServletContextInitializerBeans.java:215)

org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.ServletContextInitializerBeans.java

    private <T> List<Entry<String, T>> getOrderedBeansOfType(ListableBeanFactory beanFactory, Class<T> type,
            Set<?> excludes) {
        String[] names = beanFactory.getBeanNamesForType(type, true, false);
        Map<String, T> map = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        for (String name : names) {
            if (!excludes.contains(name) && !ScopedProxyUtils.isScopedTarget(name)) {
                T bean = beanFactory.getBean(name, type);
                if (!excludes.contains(bean)) {
                    map.put(name, bean);
                }
            }
        }
        List<Entry<String, T>> beans = new ArrayList<>(map.entrySet());
                // this line will be failed in GraalVM Native Image?
        beans.sort((o1, o2) -> AnnotationAwareOrderComparator.INSTANCE.compare(o1.getValue(), o2.getValue()));
        return beans;
    }

I use

GraalVM version: 22.3.0
JDK major version: Java17
OS: Windows 10
Architecture: AMD64
Spring Boot: 3.0.1
Spring Cloud: 2022.0.0

Thanks for the report. This looks like a Spring Framework issue to me as it would appear that @Value on AFilter's filterOrder field has not be honoured. We'll transfer the issue so that the Framework team can take a look.
