Deprecated Method!

Cookie[] ck = request.getCookies();

Iam trying to read the cookies in the JSPDynpage.

It shows a little yellow icon and says:

Warning The method getCookies() from the type IPortalComponentRequest is deprecated

Iam able to read and display.But is there any alternative way..does deprecated mean, SAP won't be supporting that in itz next release??

Thank You all.
