@NameBinding breaks Quarkus startup when resource uses constructor injection

[jrepe]

Hello there

I've hit an issue with using the @NameBinding annotation to scope a filter to a resource, when that resource uses constructor injection and the binding annotation is applied on the class level. In this combination, Quarkus startup will fail with:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Get the reproducer here: https://github.com/jrepe/name-binding-repro
2. Run gradlew quarkusDev
3. Quarkus will fail to start

If field injection is used instead of constructor injection, or if the binding annotation is applied on the method instead of on the class, Quarkus will successfully start.

I've gone through the docs on @NameBinding and as far as I understand, one should be able to apply it on the class level. Other relevant information:

• we are using the "old" resteasy classic extension (io.quarkus:quarkus-resteasy)
• Quarkus version 3.35.4 and Java 25

This looks like something that shouldn't happen, but correct me if I'm doing something wrong. If necessary I'll annotate the methods individually, but it would be nice to be able to apply it at the class level.

Not that I would be that familiar with this code but it does look like a bug.
Quarkus should add a no-arg constructor but will skip that since it only does it for a set of directly present expected annotations. There is no scan for meta annotations which seems to be the culprit.

EDIT: I've drafted a PR -> #56006
