Description
In the Jersey servlet container setup with these bounded features:
```
@Path("/test")
public class SomeResource {
@GET
@Auth
public Response someAuthedEndpoint() {
return Response.noContent().build();
}
}
@NameBinding
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({TYPE, METHOD})
public @interface Auth {
}
@Provider
@Priority(0)
@Auth
public class AuthorizationFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {
...
}
@Provider
@Priority(100)
@Auth
public class AuthenticationFilter implements ContainerRequestFilter {
...
}
```
Jersey server returns 500 with no response body and no diagnostics log to identify what went wrong. If I leave just one of these filters bound to this annotations, it works fine. JAX-RS2 `NameBinding` annotation javadoc says that one named binding can activate one or more filters (https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/ws/rs/NameBinding.html) so I assume it's a bug.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the servlet-container setup with one @NameBinding annotation applied to both AuthorizationFilter and AuthenticationFilter, using their shown priorities. Compare it with the working setup containing only one filter and inspect the 500 response for diagnostics. Done means multiple filters bound to the same name binding work as specified and the failure, if retained, is diagnostically visible.
