/**
 * 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 jakarta.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 jakarta.ws.rs.ext.ParamConverterProvider} JAX-RS extension SPI that
 * returns a {@link jakarta.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.
