[Opensource] request being cleared on Transition.transition ???

[Mike Traum]

In the Transition.transition(request,response,false) method, the boolean
actually refers to clearing the response object, not the request. So, there
is no way to prevent clearing the request.

Can we make the boolean refer to clearing both the request and response? If
so, I'll make the change...

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!
