The outcome is related to JSF navigation. There are NavigationCase objects
that represent JSF outcomes. The outcome in this case is not JSF, so it is
not in the NavigationHandler. Simply put, you can not do this by default.
You can create an instance of ConfigurableNavigationHandler and register
it. In the handler you can provide custom navigation to your REST resource.

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even
though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who
neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight
that knows not victory nor defeat."
-- Theodore Roosevelt
