  * Actions that want access to the user's HTTP session should implement this interface.<p>

- * This interface is only relevant if the Action is used in a servlet environment.<p>
+ * This will give them access to a Map where they can put objects that can be made available
+ * to subsequent requests.<p/>
  * <p/>
- * Note that using this interface makes the Action tied to a servlet environment, so it should be
- * avoided if possible since things like unit testing will become more difficult.
+ * Typical uses may be cached user data such as name, or a shopping cart.
