/**
 * <p>A standard <strong>Action</strong> that switches to a new module
 * and then forwards control to a URI (specified in a number of possible ways)
 * within the new module.</p>
 *
 * <p>Valid request parameters for this Action are:</p>
 * <ul>
 * <li><strong>page</strong> - Module-relative URI (beginning with "/")
 *     to which control should be forwarded after switching.</li>
 * <li><strong>prefix</strong> - The module prefix (beginning with "/")
 *     of the module to which control should be switched.  Use a
 *     zero-length string for the default module.  The
 *     appropriate <code>ModuleConfig</code> object will be stored as a
 *     request attribute, so any subsequent logic will assume the new
 *     module.</li>
 * </ul>
