 == `WebAsyncTask`
 
-`WebAsyncTask` is a holder/wrapper for a `java.util.concurrent.Callable` that allows you to set a custom asynchronous request timeout value and a custom `AsyncTaskExecutor` for executing the `java.util.concurrent.Callable` if you want to use a different `AsyncTaskExecutor` than the default one used by Spring MVC. Below is an example of using `WebAsyncTask`:
+`WebAsyncTask` is comparable to using xref:web/webmvc/mvc-ann-async.adoc#mvc-ann-async-callable[Callable]
+but allows customizing additional settings such a request timeout value, and the
+`AsyncTaskExecutor` to execute the `java.util.concurrent.Callable` with instead
+of the defaults set up globally for Spring MVC. Below is an example of using `WebAsyncTask`:
