When user click the link to another series of pages, instead go directly 
to these pages, u may direct it to a new jsp file

<a href="" onclick="return tryThis();">link</a> 

with tryThis() is a javascript function
<script>
function tryThis() {
  code1 = formName.textfield1.value;
 // form name is the name of the form contains the textfield
  code2 = formName.textfield2.value;
  location.href="'new.jsp?textfield1='"+code1+"'&textfield2='"+code2+"''";
  return false;
}
</script>

and in new.jsp, u save 2 value to a session variable ( get param by 
request.getParameter and save value by session.putValue )

After go through a series of pages, go come back to your first page, in 
there get the new value from those page if any, otherwise get value form 
session... 
</script>

BE HAPPY
