/**
 * <P>This is the interface to the Jetspeed Forward services.
 *    The interface defines methods for forwarding navigation to 
 *    other pages or panes in the portal. The Forward service
 *    provides an abstraction, by removing the hard-coding of
 *    portal resources in your actions. Instead, all forward targets
 *    are defined in a centralized configuration file. By using the 
 *    forward service, you use logical forward names in your java code.</P>
