You didnt mention any Action classes in between so I assume you are using
Actions to forward from screen to the next.

If your data structures are pretty much common across the application, I
guess you can create the beans in session scope instead of request scope.
This way they can be accessed from all pages/actions. Otherwise use the
Action class to get the data for the beans, put them in the request object
and forward to the mailGroupsEdit JSP.

Not sure if it helps
