I am using Java with Apache CXF to write the backend for single-page web site (like AngularJS and others). In my REST service function, I need access to the header of the http request (i.e. parameters and cookies) and I need access to the response header also (i.e. parameters and cookies). I need to read and possibly write parameters and cookies. The reason for this are important! I need to implement security features and session management. Those are important reasons indeed!
Is there a way of getting access to both of these structures from within a web service function in Apache CXF RESTfull code? If it is not possible at this point, I strongly recommend that you implement a solution. A solution might be to create some new dependency injection annotations that would give access to these structures like @RequestCookie, @RequestParam, @ResponseCookie, @ResponseParam
