Cookie Interceptor

The aim of this interceptor is to set values in the stack/action based on cookie name/value of interest.

If an asterisk is present in cookiesName parameter, it will be assume that all cookies name are to be injected into struts’ action, even though cookiesName is comma-separated by other values, e.g. (cookie1,*,cookie2).

If cookiesName is left empty it will assume that no cookie will be injected into Struts’ action.

If an asterisk is present in cookiesValue parameter, it will assume that all cookies name irrespective of its value will be injected into Struts’ action so long as the cookie name matches those specified in cookiesName parameter.

If cookiesValue is left empty it will assume that all cookie that match the cookieName parameter will be injected into Struts’ action.

The action could implement CookiesAware in order to have a Map of filtered cookies set into it.
