Howard,

Yeah, I'm not sure that its right either it seems somehow to be both too
vague and too specific at the same time.

Context and Session are sooo vague and so generic that I agree with you,
they need so much context to provide them with meaning that they're barely
better than "Stuff", "Utility" or "Data" as classnames.
Perhaps we need to drive out the real meanings in this domain; session is
user session scope data and services, and Context is application instance
scope data and services, but they suck if you try to use them to make
names.
I think this is because it is very difficult to cleanly scope the
pick-and-mix of vaguely related data and services they provide access to,
and they only really make sense when you use an accessor to access their
methods.. getContext().get..
Thinking this through perhaps SessionAccessor and ContextAccessor would go
with Request and Response, or perhaps not.
In the final analysis I don't have a strong opinion, just wanted to know
that you'd thought it through. It can be hell when you realise, months
later, that you've picked the wrong names for stuff like this!
