sjmenden, try removing the @Out from the group field declaration. What you are doing (after the first time the insert happens) is that you are outjecting that object into the "group" field which gets used by the subsequent jsps. So what you are actually doing is only an update as the first object is what is fed into the jsps subsequently, not any new Group object.
