Mike,

You can change your transition code 
to:  Transition.transition(request,response,false) [to not clear].

I believe the clearing code was added because Transitions between 
controllers were often causing side-affects between controllers, so it was 
made this way so you only do it if "you're really sure"...

HTH!
