Actually, I mandate this behavior because controllers being transitioned to 
need to be protected from wayward parameters that may mean one thing for 
one controller and another for the next.  Thus you need to explicityly 
define your objects with either:  Transition.addParameter() OR in rare 
cases where you really know the target controller, call 
Transision.setParams(request.getParameters()); to transfer all parameters 
over to the target controller.

HTH!
