Ok, now I'm following you... I didn't get that you were transitioning 
first.  The reason we had to clear the style in the transition() method was 
because transition often meant a new 'jsp' was going to be used to render 
the output.
So if you had the chain of command:

transition(state1) --> transition(state2) --> transition(state3)

You'd want the default style of state3 since that is where the main 
inputs/outputs/transitions would be generated.

Ok, so that's why, not let's talk about a workaround.

One posibility is to have the following in your state handler:

String myStyle = whateverStyleIWant;
....
transition("newState", blah blah blah);
response.setStyle(myStyle);
return;

Would that work for you?
