Yes you can. You just need to extends the GrizzlyAdapter

[Doc]
https://grizzly.dev.java.net/nonav/apidocs/com/sun/grizzly/tcp/http11/GrizzlyAdapter.html

[Code]
https://grizzly.dev.java.net/nonav/xref/com/sun/grizzly/tcp/http11/GrizzlyAdapter.html

and manipulate the GrizzlyRequest/GrizzlyResponse objects.

The cookie is reachable via the GrizzlyRequest.getCookie()


As a starter, just take a look at the ServletAdapter, on which we build
the Grizzly Servlet Container:

A simple tutorial about how to embed Grizzly can be found here:

Hope that help.
