/**
 * Binds the value of a HTTP cookie to a resource method parameter,
 * resource class field, or resource class bean property.
 * A default value can be specified using the {@link DefaultValue}
 * annotation.
 *
 * The type {@code T} of the annotated parameter, field or property must
 * either:
 * 
 * Be a primitive type
 * Be {@link javax.ws.rs.core.Cookie}
 * Have a constructor that accepts a single String argument
 * Have a static method named {@code valueOf} or {@code fromString}
 * that accepts a single String argument (see, for example, {@link Integer#valueOf(String)})
 * Have a registered implementation of {@link javax.ws.rs.ext.ParamConverterProvider}
 * JAX-RS extension SPI that returns a {@link javax.ws.rs.ext.ParamConverter}
 * instance capable of a "from string" conversion for the type.
 * Be {@code List}, {@code Set} or
 * {@code SortedSet}, where {@code T} satisfies 2, 3, 4 or 5 above.
 * The resulting collection is read-only.
 * 
 *
 * Because injection occurs at object creation time, use of this annotation
 * on resource class fields and bean properties is only supported for the
 * default per-request resource class lifecycle. Resource classes using
 * other lifecycles should only use this annotation on resource method
 * parameters.
