Annotation Type Cookie

@Qualifier
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value={TYPE,METHOD,FIELD,PARAMETER})
public @interface Cookie

The CDI annotation Cookie allows you to inject a HTTP request cookie value from the current JSF context in a CDI managed bean. It's basically like @ManagedProperty("#{cookie.cookieName.value}") private String cookieName; in a "plain old" JSF managed bean.

By default the name of the cookie is taken from the name of the variable into which injection takes place. The example below injects the cookie with name foo.

 @Inject @Cookie
 private String foo;
 

The name can be optionally specified via the name attribute. The example below injects the cookie with name foo into a variable named bar.

 @Inject @Cookie(name="foo")
 private String bar;
 

Validation is by design not supported as cookies are usually beyond enduser's control. TODO: conversion?
