* {@link javax.ws.rs.MatrixParam},
* {@link javax.ws.rs.CookieParam},
* {@link javax.ws.rs.FormParam},

* The default value is used if the corresponding metadata is not present in the

* <p>If the type of the annotated parameter is
* <code>List</code>, <code>Set</code> or <code>SortedSet</code> then the
* resulting collection will have a single entry mapped from the supplied

* <p>If this annotation is not used and the corresponding metadata is not
* present in the request, the value will be an empty collection for
* <code>List</code>, <code>Set</code> or <code>SortedSet</code>, null for
* other object types, and the Java-defined default for primitive types.</p>
