public class GiftRegistryForwardInstance
extends com.ibm.commerce.struts.ECActionForwardInstance

GiftRegistryForwardInstance extends from ECActionForwardInstance, and is an instance of ECActionForward.
This instance is used to manage the gift consultant session before forwarding. It checks whether the layoutMode=GiftConsultant parameter is present in the session. If it is not, it adds this parameter to the session to indicate that this is a GiftConsultant session. In the store, the JSTLEnvironmentSetup.jspf will check for this session parameter and change the page format. Then, the store can use the GiftConsultant header, footer and no sidebar. To force this GiftRegistryForwardInstance to clear the GiftConsultant session, user can register the command with parameter gcViewAction=clearLayout.
The second task of this GiftRegistryForwardInstance is to keep track of the last accessed gift registry. Views that manage the registry should pass a gcViewAction=manageRegistry. The registry will be saved in the gift registry session context. The externalId parameter is saved into the session context.
