 /**
- * Allows per server direct permissions from all rest apis to aaf permission types
- * for evaluation, hence the granularity.
+ * This generic class allows the mapping of REST APIs to AAF permissions
+ * to be evaluated in an AAF context.   This class can be used for
+ * highly granular permissions where each REST resource can be directly
+ * mapped transparently to an AAF permission type, the instance being the host
+ * server, and the HTTP method corresponding to the action.
+ * Subclasses are responsible to provide the root permission prefix, typically
+ * the namespace.
