I understand my problem. In this particular case, my entity being outjected is a Seam component but not marked with a scope. Therefore, it is taking on the default EVENT scope. If I don't specify the scope on the @Out annotation, my data is placed in the event context, and thus the data does not survive past the redirect. If I add @Scope(CONVERSATION) atop the User class, then it works as expected. So the point is that it is required to add @Scope(CONVERSATION) either on the entity or on the scope attribute of the @Out annotation for the data to be included in the conversation context if the data IS a seam component. If the User class was not a Seam component, then it would default to the scope of the component outjecting the data. I managed to find myself right between the two scenarios, and hence out of luck.
