Two ideas, provide your own wrapper around the HttpServletRequest that does
allow getting back the cookies (probably more work that it's worth), or add
the cookies as a request attribute that you can query to see which cookies
were added during this request. If it comes back null, you're the first (or
only) in the chain, if not, then you have the list of cookies that were
added. I'm not sure if you'll be able to overwrite an existing cookie, but
you could, institute a "first-come, first-served" rule.
