Yes. In a follow-up e-mail I asked a follow-up question. This problem also exists if contextRelative forwards are used. Shouldn't the contextRealtive forward change the module before forwarding the request.

You can avoid using SwitchAction, as long as you emulate what it accomplishes -- a call to RequestUtils.selectModule() for the new prefix.
