Description

On this page https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.6.x/JavaActionsComposition there is this text:

Note: play.mvc.Security.Authenticated and play.cache.Cached annotations and the corresponding predefined Actions are shipped with Play. See the relevant API documentation for more information.

But the linked pages are very light on details. I can't tell how these are supposed to be used.

Clarify how these annotations and their predefined actions are intended to be used, and update the relevant documentation so readers can understand their usage without relying on the currently sparse API pages.
