Try this:

either:
<html:exLink property="createNewGroup"/>

or

<bean:define id="newGroupURL" property="createNewGroup.url" 
type="java.lang.String"/>
<bean:define id="newGroupLabel" property="createNewGroup.label" 
type="java.lang.String"/>
<html:link page="<%=newGroupURL%>"><%=newGroupLabel%></html:link>

HTH!
