/**
 * 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:
 * <ol>
 * <li>Be a primitive type</li>
 * <li>Be {@link javax.ws.rs.core.Cookie}</li>
 * <li>Have a constructor that accepts a single String argument</li>
 * <li>Have a static method named {@code valueOf} or {@code fromString}
 * that accepts a single String argument (see, for example, {@link Integer#valueOf(String)})</li>
 * <li>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.</li>
 * <li>Be {@code List<T>}, {@code Set<T>} or
 * {@code SortedSet<T>}, where {@code T} satisfies 2, 3, 4 or 5 above.
 * The resulting collection is read-only.</li>
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>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.</p>
