No, your stateless bean does not keep the group since it's stateless ;). It only knows about the group cause it gets injected. As I said it's quite difficult to GUESS what the problem causes. It would be better to LOOK at your code ;). But I think that you only call new Group(); once. Or you use @In(create=true) everywhere. However, you need to make sure that the group is really created newly explicitely. And RobJellinghaus is right, whenever beginning an action that spans multiple pages there's a bill ringing and saying, "conversation!" ;).
