Revisiting models for jumping between secure and non-secure servers

In this example I will complete a secure activity by:
1) starting on a nonsecure server
2) jumping to a secure server
3) do my secure activity
4) jump back to the non-secure server

SUGGESTED ACTION CLASSES AND THEIR LOCATIONS
(non-secure side)
NonSecureSideSslJump - does pre-processing if needed, then REDIRECTS to SecureSslPreprocess on the secure side

(secure side)
SecureSslPreprocess - processes the redirected request and leaves you at a web page to do your secure activity
MySecureActivity - processes the secure activity and if successful will forward to SecureSideSslJump
SecureSideSslJump - does pre-processing if needed, then REDIRECTS to an action on the non-secure side

(non-secure side)
NonSecureSidePreprocess - processes the redirected request and leaves you at a resulting web page
