Reading a cookie from JSF

If you ever need to read a cookie from JSF, maybe this will help you:

    Object my_cookie = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext()

    .getRequestCookieMap().get("my_project");

    if (my_cookie != null) {

        String name = (((Cookie) my_cookie).getName());

        String value = (((Cookie) my_cookie).getValue());

    }
